Ebola is a serious, often deadly disease caused by infection with one of the Ebola virus strains. Ebola can cause fever, intense weakness, muscle pain, headache, and sore throat. It can also cause vomiting, diarrhea, rashes, and bleeding inside and outside of the body.
Ebola is spread through contact with the blood or body fluids of an infected person, or through contact with objects, such as needles, that have been contaminated with the virus.
There is no specific treatment for Ebola, but symptoms can be treated. Early diagnosis and treatment with fluids and electrolytes is important for survival. There is no vaccine for Ebola, but researchers are working on one.
Ebola virus is a deadly virus that is found in Africa. It is a member of the Filoviridae family, which includes viruses that cause hemorrhagic fever.
