	Ebola - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ebola is believed to be a zoonotic virus, although despite considerable effort by the World Health Organization no animal reservoir capable of sustaining the virus between outbreaks has been identified.
		Ebola goes on to cause diarrhea, dark or bloody stools, vomiting blood, red eyes from swollen blood vessels, red spots on the skin from subcutaneous bleeding, maculopapular rash, purpura, and bleeding internally and externally from any orifice, including from the nose, mouth, rectum, genitals or needle puncture sites.

	Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever - MSN Encarta
		Ebola hemorrhagic fever is a zoonosis—that is, a disease that animals spread to humans.
		Each outbreak of Ebola hemorrhagic fever has been traced to what is known as an index case, a person who became infected by coming into contact with an animal involved in the life cycle of the Ebola virus.
		Ebola hemorrhagic fever is diagnosed using a laboratory technique called enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA) that searches blood samples for specific antigens (viral proteins) or antibodies made by the infected patient.

	WHO \| Ebola haemorrhagic fever
		The Ebola virus was first identified in a western equatorial province of Sudan and in a nearby region of Zaire (now Democratic Republic of the Congo) in 1976 after significant epidemics in Yambuku, northern Zaire, and Nzara, southern Sudan.
		Ebola haemorrhagic fever (EHF) is one of the most virulent viral diseases known to humankind, causing death in 50-90% of all clinically ill cases.
		The Ebola virus is transmitted by direct contact with the blood, body fluids and tissues of infected persons.Transmission of the Ebola virus has also occurred by handling ill or dead infected chimpanzees.

	Disease Information: Ebola Haemorrhagic Fever - Travel Health - Travel Medicine Program - Public Health Agency of Canada
		Ebola haemorrhagic fever (EHF) is a severe and acute, often-fatal, haemorrhagic viral disease in humans and non-human primates (monkeys, gorillas and chimpanzees).
		Caused by the Ebola virus, of the family Filoviridae, EHF causes death in 50 – 90% of all clinically ill cases.
		While your chance of acquiring the Ebola virus is very low, if you develop a fever with skin rash or bleeding while in, or after leaving, an Ebola-outbreak area where you have cared for a sick person(s), seek medical attention immediately and report your travel history.

		Ebola hemorrhagic fever (Ebola HF) is a severe, often-fatal disease in humans and nonhuman primates (monkeys and chimpanzees) that has appeared sporadically since its initial recognition in 1976.
		The disease is caused by infection with Ebola virus, named after a river in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (formerly Zaire) in Africa, where it was first recognized.
		Scientists and researchers are faced with the challenges of developing additional diagnostic tools to assist in early diagnosis of the disease and ecological investigations of Ebola virus and the disease it causes.

	Note on another hemorrhagic fever
		Ebola will be a tough disease because it is probably at least a "500 gram disease" but with a disease where anyone survives, the survival rate should be markedly increased with the use of massive doses of intravenous sodium ascorbate.
		With the hemorrhagic fevers or any severe infectious disease, the patient's vitamin C is burned up by free radicals so rapidly that they get "acute induced scurvy." One of the symptoms of scurvy is bleeding of course.
		The Ebola is probably a 300 to 500 gram disease so it rapidly causes a severe acute induced scurvy which causes bleeding throughout the body, malaise, coma, death, etc. There has recently been discovered a toxin produced by the Ebola virus which damages the blood vessels and causes the bleeding.

	eMedicine - Ebola Virus : Article by John W King, MD
		Although agents of the viral hemorrhagic fever syndrome constitute a geographically diverse group of viruses, to date, all are RNA viruses, all are considered zoonoses, all damage the microvasculature resulting in increased vascular permeability, and all are members of 1 of 4 families: Arenaviridae, Bunyaviridae, Flaviviridae, and Filoviridae.
		Ebola and Marburg viruses are responsible for well-documented outbreaks of severe human hemorrhagic fever with resultant case mortality rates ranging from 23% for Marburg virus (Marburg, Germany; 1967) to 88% for Ebola virus (Yambuku, Democratic Republic of the Congo [DRC]; formerly Zaire; 1976).
		Ebola hemorrhagic fever should be considered in patients with recent travel to areas where Ebola has been reported or in patients with exposure to known cases and who exhibit signs and symptoms consistent with Ebola.

		While all Ebola virus species have displayed the ability to be spread through airborne particles (aerosols) under research conditions, this type of spread has not been documented among humans in a real-world setting, such as a hospital or household.
		Diagnosing Ebola HF in an individual who has been infected only a few days is difficult because early symptoms, such as red and itchy eyes and a skin rash, are nonspecific to the virus and are seen in other patients with diseases that occur much more frequently.
		If a patient with Ebola HF dies, it is equally important that direct contact with the body of the deceased patient be prevented.

	ISU Veterinarian - "Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever"
		Simian hemorrhagic fever virus and a new strain of Ebola virus were isolated concurrently from a group of cynomolgus monkeys housed in a quarantine facility in Reston, VA. The Ebola virus spread slowly within quarantine rooms, with death occurring within 2 to 7 days following the onset of clinical signs.
		The infectivity of Ebola virus is stable at room temperature (20°C) but is largely destroyed in 30 minutes at 60°C. The virus can also be inactivated by ultraviolet and gamma radiation, lipid solvents, B-propiolactone, and commercial hypochlorite and phenolic disinfectants.
		The solutions to accomplishing these goals are educating the public in regard to the signs of Ebola hemorrhagic fever and developing a practical and effective method of identifying infected persons and carriers of the virus.
