The Ebola virus is transmitted to humans through contact with a live or dead infected animal, and it spreads from person to person.
It is transmitted to humans through contact with a live or dead infected host animal (monkeys, bats, antelopes …) and is spread from person to person by contact with the blood, tissues, secretions and bodily fluids of the infected subject, and by contact with contaminated medical equipment, such as needles.
Ebola is an acute viral infectious disease that produces hemorrhagic fever in humans and primates (monkeys, gorillas and chimpanzees). The name of the virus is due to the Ebola River, geographically located in Zaire.
There are five serotypes of the Ebola virus: Ebola-Zaire, Ebola-Sudan, Ebola-Ivory Coast and Ebola-Bundibugyo. The fifth serotype, Ebola-Reston, has caused disease in primates, but not in humans. It is an infection that is characterized by a high mortality rate, which ranges between 50% and 95% of those affected. Due to its lethal nature, this virus is considered a biological weapon.
Your symptoms:
- High and sudden fever.
- Headache
- Joint discomfort and severe muscle pain.
- Sore throat and generalized weakness.
- Diarrhea, vomiting and stomach pain.
- Appearance of a reddish skin rash.
The prevalence of Ebola is difficult to determine, because it usually occurs in the form of outbreaks or epidemics.
- Conjunctival congestion (red eyes).
- Impaired renal and hepatic function.
- Internal and external hemorrhages can be observed in some affected patients.
It is considered that people at risk of hemorrhagic fever due to Ebola virus are those with a history of travel to sub-Saharan Africa, people who care for infected patients, as well as workers who are in contact with infected primates of African origin.
