humans and nonhuman mammals, such as monkeys, bats, and apes (CDC). There are five different identified species of the Ebola virus and all belong to the genus Ebolavirus. Four of the species are known to cause disease in humans: Ebolavirus zaire; Ebolavirus sudan; Ebolavirus taī forest; and Ebolavirus bundibugyo. The fifth virus, Ebolavirus reston, has only infected
Ebola The Killer Virus Ebola hemorrhagic fever, better known as Ebola, has been the subject of much debate and speculation as of the last couple months. This virus kills half of those who become infected and is very contagious, but the one question that many have about this deadly threat is where did it come from? And what important information should I know about it? Where and when did it all start? This deadly virus’s origins link it back to its discovery near the Ebola River, in what is now the
known strains: Zaire ebolavirus; Sudan Ebola virus; Taï Forest Ebola virus, Reston Ebola virus; and Bundibugyo virus Bundibugyo Ebola virus. The Zaire Ebola virus strain has fatality rates of up to 90%. The Sudan Ebola virus strain has fatality rates of around 40% to 75% in current outbreaks, and are known for the larger outbreaks in Africa. The remaining three strains of the Ebola virus have lower fatality rates due to the rare number of cases of Taï Forest Ebola virus, Reston Ebola virus; and Bundibugyo
Diseases can cause a devastating effect on both the human body, and also the human population. Throughout several time periods of the present and past, diseases have caused a humongous impact in several society's in different countries around the world. Several large pandemics and epidemics have killed off the population of many species including humans and primates. Wether the time period is in the present or as far back as the Middle Ages, each and every one of these diseases, have had a life threatening
EBOV belongs to the order of the nonsegmented negative-sense (NNS)RNA type viruses, the Mononegavirales and it is part of the family Filoviridae. EBOV is a member of the genus Ebolavirus. This genus has five distinct species: Bundibugyo ebolavirus, Zaire ebolavirus, Su-dam ebolavirus, Taï Forest ebola virus and Reston ebolavirus.4 The Ebola virus should not be confused
The Role of the World Health Organization in the 2014 Ebola Outbreak Abstract The 2014 Ebola outbreak was the first occurrence of Ebola in West Africa, killing thousands of people. The epidemic caused panic worldwide as the World Health Organization (WHO) struggled to contain what it claimed would be a brief outbreak. It was through this unsuccessful response that the WHO came under increased scrutiny. Investigations into the WHO revealed deficiencies across many aspects of the organization. Most
Epidemiological Triangle for Ebola. Agent: The Cause of the Disease ("Ebola virus disease", 2016; Matua, Van der Wal, & Locsin, 2015) • Bundibugyo Ebolavirus (BEBOV) (infects humans, caused previous outbreaks) • Sudan Ebolavirus (SEBOV) (infects humans, caused previous outbreaks) • Zaire Ebolavirus (ZEBOV) (infects humans, caused the 2014 epidemic) • Reston Ebolavirus (REBOV) (has been seen in primates but not in
project because it’s one of the most deadly diseases known to man that still has an impact on our civilization now. In addition, the amount of damage this microscopic organism can cause in a short amount of time is truly fascinating. 2.) The genus Ebolavirus is a devastating virulent strain of the family,
deadliest known virus strain on earth, held a mortality rate up to ninety percent in the past, and is the hottest type of Ebola Viral Diseases. In addition, there are four other types of Ebola species: Ebola Sudan, Ebola Ivory Coast, Bundibugyo ebolavirus, and Ebola Reston. Notably, the earliest of Ebola outbreaks being from Ebola Sudan and Ebola Zaire, both erupted during 1976 in Africa. Previously known as the Ebola haemorrhagic fever, these virus are known to cause tremors and convulsions in its host,
