	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
		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.
		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
		Ebola, one of the deadliest viruses known to man, had struck, and by the time doctors had realised that the Kasubi district of Gulu was at the centre of an outbreak, the disease was already spreading fast.
		Ebola's return has spread terror through Gulu, which is at the centre of a 12-year rebellion by the so-called Lord's Resistance Army and home to nearly 500,000 refugees, many of whom are crowded into camps in conditions ideal for the spread of disease.
		Ebola is one of the most virulent viral diseases known to humankind, causing death in 50 to 90 percent of all clinically ill cases.

	Ebola Virus
		The spread of the deadly Ebola virus infection, an illness with no known vaccine or cure, continued in Zaire into the summer months, after a brief lull in May that had led health officials to mistakenly believe the virus was under control.
		Ebola Zaire is the deadliest known strain of the virus.
		The main difference between the two outbreaks of Ebola Zaire is that the strain responsible for the outbreak in Kikwit has an average incubation period of four days, while 20 years ago the virus had an average incubation period of seven days.

	Ebola - WrongDiagnosis.com
		Ebola is the common term for a group of viruses belonging to genus Ebolavirus, family Filoviridae, which cause Ebola hemorrhagic fever[1].
		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.
		The virus is named after the Ebola River in the African state of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (formerly Zaïre), near the site of the first outbreaks[5].

		Once the Ebola virus has entered the body, there is an incubation period of approximately two to twenty days before signs and symptoms are observed.(4) Following the incubation period onset of the disease is sudden.
		The Ebola Reston subtype is the variation of the Ebola Virus discovered in African monkeys imported to the United States.
		Ebola is one of the most feared emerging infectious diseases due to being extremely contagious, presents with horrible manifestations and it is rapidly fatal for it's victims.

	Ebola Virus
		The Ebola Virus is the common name for several strains of virus, three of which are known to cause hemorrhagic fever in humans, which is characterized by massive bleeding and destruction of internal tissues.
		The Ebola virus causes hemorrhagic fever, which is characterized by such symptoms as severe headache, weakness, and muscle aches, followed by vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, inflammation of the throat (pharyngitis), inflammation of the mucous membranes in the eye (conjunctivitis), and bleeding from body openings.
		A consensus sequence was established by aligning all the Ebola from Gabon, the Zaire 1976 and 1995 Ebola virus sequences, as well as the sequence of the virus obtained from a nurse in South Africa who was infected of the three different outbreaks in Gabon.

	(D2OL)™ - Pathogens - Ebola
		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.

		Ebola has sharply affected tourism in the countries where it is present, especially in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (³TED Case Study²).
		Ebola has also made countries like Uganda, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Sudan to lose revenue through the loss of people who would have been able to work and benefit their nation's economy.

		The Ebola virus is probably the scariest and deadliest virus on earth, since it has a 50-90% death rate, and kills usually within 2 weeks of infection, with the person basicly being dissolved into liquid by the virus, with blood oozing out of the eyes, mouth, and any body opening.

		The typical immune response to Ebola infection is characterized by an impaired innate immune response, abnormal and deleterious cytokine secretion profiles of innate and adaptive immune cells, and significant apoptosis of lymphocytes.
		Ebola virus infects and replicates in dendritic cells, monocytes, and macrophages, particularly in the early stages of infection, and impairs their development and in certain cases can change their functioning in order to contribute to its own spread.
