family. The Ebola virus causes the infection of this disease. There are four subtypes of the Ebola virus that have occurred in humans: Ebola Sudan, Ebola Zaire, Ebola Ivory Coast, and Ebola Bundibogyo. There was also a case of Ebola that occurred in a non-human in Reston, Virginia. The Zaire virus was the first Ebola virus discovered and it is also considered the most deadly form of the virus. Since its discovery until the year 2014, there were only 1850 cases of the virus and only 1200 people
horses, cattle, sheep, dogs, and foxes. Which is how we have all the different genotypes of this disease. In 1995 it was found in cats who have “staggering diseases” and in 2000 a researcher found the Borna virus in an ostrich farm and in other wild birds. Avian Bornavirus (ABV) it is also a RNA virus meaning it not only affects the digestive system but it also damages the spinal cord and the brain. Researchers believe that ABV is one of the main causatives of PDD in birds and can lead to Macaw Wasting
infection with Ebola virus, named after a river in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (formerly Zaire) in Africa, where it was first recognized. The virus is one of two members of a family of RNA viruses called the Filoviridae. Three of the four subtypes of Ebola virus identified so far have caused disease in humans: Ebola-Zaire, Ebola-Sudan, and Ebola-Ivory Coast. The fourth, Ebola-Reston, has caused disease in nonhuman primates, but not in humans. Where is Ebola virus
Introduction The human body is comprised of an abundance of microorganisms that are considered part of our normal and healthy microbiota.8 Most of these microorganisms are typically not injurious, but under certain conditions or when a patient is immunocompromised, some microorganisms may produce infectious diseases.7 Infectious diseases are ailments caused by the opportunistic pathogens already present in our bodies or other harmful microorganisms that were acquired from traveling, hospitals, outdoors
METHODS Context and community description Home to more than 200,000 people, Margibi County is the second-most densely populated county in Liberia. Located in the South Central region of Liberia, it borders Montserrado county, home of nation’s capital of Monrovia. Residents here experience extreme rates of poverty—most without access to essential assets, electricity, running water, or flushable toilets (LISGIS citation). Margibi County residents also experience substantial barriers to accessing healthcare
situation. V. Preview: First I will discuss what is Ebola and the World Health Organization. I will then present to you the accomplishments and why they should be able to handle the situation. Lastly, I will talk about the failures towards the Ebola virus and they should not continue to
Ebola (also known as Ebola Virus Disease or EVD) is a severe virus that started in late 1996 and was first misdiagnosed as a new form of malaria. I can understand why they diagnosed the patients with malaria, the early symptoms were similar, but the main reason is that they never knew Ebola even existed. Soon after, 1st September to be more precise, there was a large outbreak and there were approximately [1]280 deaths and only 38 confirmed survivors. The Ebola virus can spread very easily even though
someone in my unit made a comment, “Soon we will be getting an Ebola vaccination?” Another reservist asked me if the Ebola virus is airborne like the influenza virus. Few military personnel would choose to be deployed in Afghanistan with constant mortar attacks rather West Africa. What is the Ebola virus? Key facts: Ebola formerly known as Ebola hemorrhagic fever Background Ebola virus first appeared in 1976 in Nzara, Sudan and Yambuku, Democratic Republic of Congo, later occurred in a village near the
What Is The Ebola Virus? I’m sure you have recently heard of the Ebola Virus Disease breakouts in the media all across the globe. But the the real question is: Do you know what the Ebola Virus Disease is? Do you know why it is so concerning? The Ebola Virus Disease is rapidly affecting people all over the world. The Ebola Virus Disease has become a serious issue in today’s world and it must be taken care of before it is too late. The Ebola virus disease is formerly known as Ebola haemorrhagic fever
The filovirus Ebola consists of 4 families: Marburg, Ebola Zaire, Ebola Sudan, and Ebola Reston. It is a rather simple virus in structure; each contain a single strand RNA strand and 7 different proteins, 3 which are only slightly understood and 4 that are completely unknown. The virus harms the immune system like the HIV virus, but Ebola causes an explosive attack. The virus is associated with the measles and mumps family, pneumonia viruses, parainfluenza viruses which include colds, and respiratory
