EBOLA VIRUS HEMORRHAGIC FEVER What are viral hemorrhagic fevers? Viral hemorrhagic fevers are a group of diseases caused by four distinct families of viruses: arenaviruses, bunyaviruses, filoviruses and flaviviruses. The usual hosts for most of these viruses are rodents or arthropods (such as ticks and mosquitoes) but, in some cases, such as Ebola virus, the natural host is unknown. All forms of the disease begin with fever and muscle aches. Depending on the particular virus, the disease can progress until the patient becomes very ill with respiratory problems, severe bleeding, kidney problems and shock. The severity of viral hemorrhagic fever can range from a relatively mild illness to death. What is Ebola virus? Ebola virus is a member of the filovirus family. When magnified several thousand times by an electron microscope, these viruses appear as long filaments or threads. Discovered in 1976, Ebola virus was named for a river in Zaire, Africa, where it was first detected. How common is Ebola virus hemorrhagic fever? What do we know about the recent outbreak of Ebola virus infection?

Site Map HealthSavvy Sign In Transmission of Ebola Transmission of Ebola can occur through exposure to blood or bodily secretions of an infected person, or through direct contact with the person. During outbreaks of the Ebola virus, transmission of the virus in hospitals is very common, especially when patients are cared for without the use of proper barrier techniques and sterilization practices. One subtype of Ebola was reported in a primate research facility in Virginia, where it appears that transmission of Ebola from monkey to monkey occurred through the air; however, such transmission has not been seen among humans. Background on Ebola Transmission of Ebola: An Overview Transmission of Ebola occurs through direct contact with an infected person or his or her body fluids (such as blood or secretions). Transmission of Ebola occurs most often during the late stages of an Ebola infection.

Contacts Media centre WHO Programmes and projects Media centre Fact sheets Main content printable version Fact sheet N°103 Provisional revision: December 2008 Ebola haemorrhagic fever The Ebola virus belongs to the Filoviridae family (filovirus) and is comprised of five distinct species: Zaïre, Sudan, Côte d’Ivoire, Bundibugyo and Reston. Zaïre, Sudan and Bundibugyo species have been associated with large Ebola hemorrhagic fever (EHF) outbreaks in Africa with high case fatality ratio (25–90%) while Côte d’Ivoire and Reston have not. Reston species can infect humans but no serious illness or death in humans have been reported to date. Human infection with the Ebola Reston subtype, found in the Western Pacific, has only caused asymptomatic illness, meaning that those who contract the disease do not experience clinical illness. The natural reservoir of the Ebola virus seems to reside in the rain forests of the African continent and in areas of the Western Pacific. Transmission The Ebola virus is transmitted by direct contact with the blood, secretions, organs or other body fluids of infected persons.

Very fitting for a virus that makes your internal organs into a soup and causes them to flow out of your body, don't you think so? For more technical and truthful information on Ebola the virus go to the links page. Since the release of such popular books and movies like Outbreak and The Hot Zone "ebola" has come to mean much more than just a disease, it is now a business, a career, and an attitude. I would even go so far as to say that ebola is a psychological condition. Ebola: 1. (v.) Acting in a manner that is out of control, crazy, insane, Ebola . Ex: Chuck came in and went completely Ebola , he threw a desk and strangled that poor kid. 2. (adj.) Word used to describe someone or something that frequently acts in an ebola manner. Ex: how would I describe Chuck? Well, he's nice, but kind of Ebola if you know what I mean. As you can see, the connotations of the word Ebola are many and growing fast. These connotations are derived from the erratic behavior of monkeys in the movie Outbreak , and the extremely violent nature of the virus itself. Someone acting in an Ebola manner can be described as being in a

Report corrections to Microbewiki Contents Introduction History Transmission Symptoms ... References Introduction Ebola virus is a member of the Filoviridae viral family of RNA viruses, which are characterized by the long, thin filaments seen in micrograph images. It is named after the Ebola River where the virus was first discovered. The virus causes Ebola hemorrhagic fever, which is a serious and usually fatal disease for those who contract it. It damages the endothelial cells that make up the lining of the blood vessels and creates difficulty in coagulation of the infected individual’s blood. As the vessel walls become more damaged, and the platelets cannot coagulate, the individual undergoes hypovolemic shock, or a dramatic decrease in blood pressure. Depending on the type of virus, Ebola can have up to a 90 percent mortality rate for those infected. Ebola hemorrhagic fever has been reported in humans only in Africa. Figure 1 shows a man who has fallen ill with Ebola in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, formerly known as Zaire. He most likely died shortly after this photograph was taken due to a great loss of blood. The other person in the photo is dressed in protective clothing so as not to contract the virus from the patient.

Ebola: The Virus Transmission of Ebola It is still unknown how primates contract filoviruses in nature. The secondary cases of infection have been the result of contact with contaminated blood, organs, or bodily secretions. Ebola can also be transmitted through the handling of an ill chimpanzee, or the corpse of one. Amongst humans, Ebola is transmitted person to person by contact with infected bodily fluids and/or tissues. There is also evidence of a possible respiratory way of transmission of Ebola in nonhuman primates. Even if Ebola is transmitted via the respiratory route to nonhuman primates, humans may be resistant to the airborne transmission of Ebola (may not have the right receptors). Ebola Classification and Taxonomy (structure of Ebola) Ebola Zaire, Ebola Sudan, Ebola Cote d'Ivoire, and Ebola Reston are the four known strains (subtypes) of Ebola. Ebola and Marburg in the filovirus family, in which they are the only members. Filoviruses are negative, noninfectious, polymorphic, non-segmented, single-stranded RNA viruses, and have variable lengths. Infectious Ebola virions are usually 920 nm (nanometers - one billionth of a meter) in length and 80 nm in diameter. For a picture of a genome of Ebola Zaire, click

Ebola Virus The virus comes from the Filoviridae family, similar to the Marburg virus. It is named after the Ebola River in Zaire, Africa, nearwhere the first outbreak was noted by Dr. Ngoy Mushola in 1976 after a significant outbreak in Yambuku, Zaire (now theDemocratic Republic of the Congo), and Nzara, in western Sudan. Of 602 identified cases, there were 397 deaths. Further outbreaks have occurred in Zaire/Congo (1995 and 2003), Gabon (1994, 1995 and 1996), and in Uganda (2000). A new subtype was identified from a single human case in the Côte d'Ivoire in 1994, EBO-CI. Of around 1500 identified Ebola cases, two-thirds of the patients have died. The animal (or other) reservoir which sustains the virus between outbreaks has not been identified. Ebola Virus History Ebola-Zaire Ebola-Zaire, the first-discovered Ebola virus, is also the most deadly. At its worst, it has a ninety percent fatality rate. There have been more outbreaks of Ebola-Zaire than any other type of Ebola virus (³Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever²). The first outbreak took place in 1976 in Yambuku, Zaire (now Democratic Republic of Congo). Mabelo Lokela checked into the local hospital with a fever. One of the nurses assumed Lokela had malaria and gave him a quinine shot. When Lokela returned home from the hospital and died, the women of his family conducted a traditional African funeral for him. In preparation for this funeral, they removed all the blood and excreta from his body with their bare hands. Most of the women in his family died soon afterwards (Draper 19).

Deadly ebola virus a fact of life in Gabon April 26, 1997 Web posted at: 10:41 p.m. EDT (0241 GMT) In this story: Of 35 people infected, 25 died One family lost 15 members to ebola From Correspondent Gary Strieker NORTHEASTERN GABON (CNN) The Ivindo River in northeastern Gabon runs through the middle of a vast forest, thousands of square kilometers where no one lives and few venture. But recently this remote area has suffered the encroachments of gold miners, hunters and, most troubling of all, the deadly ebola virus. Jungle fever strikes in Gabon when gold mining and hunting open in a remote area (1.4MB/38 sec. QuickTime movie Two outbreaks of the virus last year killed 70 people here, and health officials responsible for tracking and containing such things returned recently to the village of Mayibout, site of the first outbreak. The epidemic began when children found a dead chimpanzee and took it home to eat. Chimpanzees and gorillas are considered a delicacy here, and the find was welcomed in the village. But the animal had died from ebola fever, and it infected everyone who touched it.
