Ebola is a deadly virus that has effected  over 28,639 people worldwide.

It is caused by infection with one of the Ebola virus species.  These include: The Zaire ebolavirus, Sudan ebolavirus, Taï Forest ebolavirus, and the Bundibugyo ebolavirus.

Symptoms of the Ebola virus include fever, muscle pain, sore throat, weakness, diarrhea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.  Living with extreme systems in third world countries has led to kidney and liver failure, which in turn causes death.

The Ebola virus first came to public attention in 1976.  As of March 13, 2016, there have been a reported 28,639 cases and over 11,000 Ebola-induced deaths.

The largest worldwide outbreak of Ebola began in March of 2014, and was concentrated in the West African countries of Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone.  During this outbreak, two out of every 5th person reported to have contracted this virus died.  Scientists and biologists have confirmed that bats were most likely the carriers for this disease during this outbreak, and are currently still trying to find a cure and decrease the numbers of fatalities due to Ebola in these countries.
