Ebola virus is a relatively recently discovered virus, that when it infects
humans, caries with it a 50-90% fatality rate. Symptoms of this deadly virus
include Sudden Fever, Weakness, Muscle Pain, Headache, Sore Throat, Vomiting,
Diarrhea, Rash. Internal results include Limited Kidney Function, Limited Liver
Function, and Internal and External Bleeding.
The incubation period for the Ebola virus ranges from 2 to 21 days, depending
upon the method of infection. A direct inoculation of the virus into the bloodstream of
a human will bring about symptoms markedly faster than other forms of less direct
contact. The virus is present in the male's reproductive fluids, and can be transmitted
through sexual contact for up to 7 weeks after clinical recovery from the Ebola virus.
The Ebola virus can be diagnosed with laboratory testing of blood specimens
under maximum containment conditions - because of the high risk of infection to those
handling infected blood.
There is currently no treatment or vaccination available for the Ebola virus.
Transmission of the Ebola virus occurs by direct contact with the bodily fluids
of patients infected with the virus. The handling of chimpanzees that are either ill or
have died from the Ebola virus can also transmit the virus.
