		Ebola haemorrhagic fever (EHF) is a severe and acute, often-fatal, haemorrhagic viral disease in humans and non-human primates (monkeys, gorillas and chimpanzees).
		EHF is named after the Ebola River in The Democratic Republic of Congo (formerly Zaire), where it was first identified in 1976.
		The fourth strain, Ebola-Reston, is associated with fatal haemorrhagic disease in nonhuman primates (monkeys and chimpanzees).

	Ebola
		Ebola haemorrhagic fever (EHF -- alternatively Ebola hemorrhagic fever; commonly referred to as simply Ebola) is a recently identified, severe, often fatal infectious disease occurring in humans and some primates caused by the Ebola virus.
		It is named after the Ebola River in Zaire, Africa, near where the first outbreak was noted by Dr. Ngoy Mushola in 1976 after a significant outbreak in Yambuku, Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo), and Nzara, in western Sudan.
		Second, the Ebola virus would have to be transported in a way that is not fatal to the people who use it as a weapon, or would have to be carried by people who are willing to die a gruesome death.

	Ebola - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ebola hemorrhagic fever (alternatively Ebola Haemorrhagic Fever, EHF, or just Ebola) is a very rare, but severe, mostly fatal infectious disease occurring in humans and other primates, caused by the Ebola virus.
		The nucleocapsid structure consists of a central channel, 20–30 nm in diameter, surrounded by helically wound capsid with a diameter of 40–50 nm and an interval of 5 nm.
		So far all epidemics of Ebola have occurred in sub-optimal hospital conditions, where practices of basic hygiene and sanitation are often either luxuries or unknown to caretakers and where disposable needles and autoclaves are unavailable or too expensive.

	WHO Warning
		Marburg haemorrhagic fever is a severe and highly fatal disease caused by a virus from the same family as the one that causes Ebola haemorrhagic fever.
		Ebola haemorrhagic fever (EHF) is a febrile haemorrhagic illness which causes death in 50-90% of all clinically ill cases.
		From 1989 to 1996, several outbreaks caused by the Ebola Reston subtype occurred in monkeys imported from the Philippines to the USA (Reston in Virginia, Alice in Texas and Pennsylvania) and to Italy.

		Ebola is often characterized by the sudden onset of fever, intense weakness, muscle pain, headache and sore throat.
		The Ebola virus was first identified in a western equatorial province of Sudan and in a nearby region of Zaïre (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo) in 1976 after significant epidemics in Yambuku, northern Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Nzara, southern Sudan.

	Ebola Virus Haemorrhagic Fever
		The sudden appearance of a "new" communicable disease, such as Ebola haemorrhagic fever which manifested itself in two outbreaks in 1976, was a challenge for those who tried to understand its nature and to carry out appropriate measures under the pressure of current events.
		Yellow fever virus was the second possibility since Sudan and Zaire are located in the epidemic zone and the way an epidemic of yellow fever is propagated by Aedes aegypti may to some extent evoke a pattern of man-toman transmission.
		Rift valley fever virus was not taken into account at that time but has since shown itself to be a possibility even outside its traditional focus although its clinical-pattern is more often like dengue than a haemorrhagic fever.

		Hemorrhagic fever viruses are highly infectious by aerosol; are associated with high morbidity and, in some cases, high mortality; and are thought to pose a serious risk as biologic weapons.29 All suspected cases of HFV infection should be reported immediately to the local or state health department and the hospital epidemiologist.
		Ebola and Marburg viruses may cause a hemorrhagic diathesis and tissue necrosis through direct damage to vascular endothelial cells and platelets with impairment of the microcirculation, as well as cytopathic effects on parenchymal cells, with release of immunologic and inflammatory mediators.
		Ebola virus, Marburg virus, Lassa fever virus, and the New World arenaviruses are transmissible from person to person through direct contact with blood and body fluids.

	Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers \| CDC Special Pathogens Branch
		Viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHFs) refer to a group of illnesses that are caused by several distinct families of viruses.
		In general, the term "viral hemorrhagic fever" is used to describe a severe multisystem syndrome (multisystem in that multiple organ systems in the body are affected).
		For those hemorrhagic fever viruses that can be transmitted from one person to another, avoiding close physical contact with infected people and their body fluids is the most important way of controlling the spread of disease.

		Ebola haemorrhagic fever (Ebola HF) is a severe, often-fatal disease in humans and nonhuman primates (monkeys, gorillas, and chimpanzees) that has appeared sporadically since its initial recognition in 1976.
		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 eyes and a skin rash, are nonspecific to the virus and are seen in other patients with diseases that occur much more frequently.
