Ebola outbreaks

Ebola outbreaks are caused by the Ebola virus, which spreads through contact with the bodily fluids of infected people or animals. The virus can cause severe illness, including fever, bleeding, and organ failure, often leading to death. Outbreaks typically occur in regions with limited healthcare access, making containment challenging. Controlling the spread involves isolating patients, practicing strict hygiene, and using protective equipment. Advances in vaccines and treatments have improved response efforts. Understanding the transmission and symptoms helps communities and health workers respond quickly to prevent widespread infection.
