Sudan ebolavirus is a virus that causes Ebola, a severe and often deadly illness. It spreads through contact with infected blood, body fluids, or tissues, and can also spread from animals to humans. Symptoms include fever, muscle pain, weakness, vomiting, and bleeding. The virus is mainly found in parts of Central and West Africa, including Sudan. There are no specific widely available treatments, but supportive care improves chances of survival. Controlling outbreaks involves isolating patients, safe handling of body fluids, and strict infection control measures. The virus is one of several strains that cause Ebola disease.
