Ebola

Ebola is a serious viral infection caused by the Ebola virus. It primarily spreads through direct contact with the bodily fluids of an infected person or animal. Symptoms typically appear 2 to 21 days after exposure and can include fever, severe headaches, vomiting, and bleeding. Ebola outbreaks often occur in parts of Africa and can be deadly, with high mortality rates. There is no specific treatment, but supportive care can improve survival. Vaccines have been developed to help prevent the virus from spreading during outbreaks. Early detection and containment are critical in managing Ebola infections.
