Ebola Virus

Ebola virus is a severe and often deadly disease caused by the Ebola virus, which is transmitted to humans from wild animals, such as fruit bats and monkeys. The virus spreads between people through direct contact with bodily fluids, like blood or saliva. Symptoms usually appear within 2 to 21 days and can include fever, vomiting, severe headaches, and internal bleeding. Ebola has a high fatality rate, making it a critical public health concern. Outbreaks have occurred mainly in Africa, prompting global health responses to control its spread, including vaccination and supportive care for infected individuals.
