There is no cure for Ebola, nor are there any vaccines that can prevent the disease. It is said that those that recover do so with the strength of their own immune system. Several experimental treatments are in the works, but nothing has been completely proven to fight the disease.

EVD may have initially been transmitted to humans from bats, but scientists haven't actually found strong evidence to support this. The WHO states that Ebola was introduced into the human population through the secretions, blood, organs, or other bodily fluids of many different animals other than bats; like monkeys, chimpanzees, gorillas, forest antelope, and porcupines.The virus is transmitted through blood, feces, vomit, breast milk, urine, semen, and any other bodily secretions. Ebola is not spread through the air. It is spread from human to human contact or direct contact with the infected. Broken skin or the mucous membrane is how someone may come into contact with EVD. The fluids may come directly from the infected person or from bedding or clothing from the infected individual.

Most people outside of West Africa do not need to worry about Ebola prevention. Those that work with patients such as healthcare workers are said to use extreme caution and wear proper PPE. The CDC states to avoid handling the body of someone who died from Ebola. Avoid contact with bats and non human primates, or blood, fluids, and raw meat prepared from these animals. Avoid facilities in West Africa where Ebola patients are being treated. Risk reducing information should also be provided to include: reducing the risk of wildlife to human transmission, human to human transmission, sexual transmission, and outbreak containment measures.
