Zaire ebolavirus. This disease, or human pathogen, is a rare but fatal disease. Ebola virus causes a high hemorrhagic fever. Few people live to tell the tale of fighting Ebola fever.

# data[].attributes.body
Initial symptoms of the deadly Ebola pathogen include fever, headache, muscle pain, and chills. Later, an infected person will most likely experience internal bleeding resulting in vomiting or coughing blood, and for more than 90%, death.

As Ebola progresses, it causes the infected specimen to bleed through pores in the skin, and through the mouth, nose, eyes, and ears.

In order to avoid contracting Ebola during an epidemic, one must never touch anything that has come in contact with Ebola without being enveloped in sturdy medical scrubs that cover the body completely, not leaving an inch of skin exposed.

Medical gear, like those worn below, are one way to avoid contracting Ebola. Using powerful disinfectants and maintaining proper hand washing techniques also help prevent the spread of Ebola fever.

The first human case in an Ebola outbreak is acquired through contact with blood, secretions organs or other bodily fluids of an infected animal. EVD has been documented in people who handled infected chimpanzees, gorillas and forest antelopes, both dead and alive, in Cote d’Ivoire, the Republic of Congo and Gabon. The first case in the West Africa outbreak was likely acquired via exposure to bats.
The virus is then transmitted from person to person through direct contact with the blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected persons. People can also become infected through contact with objects, such as needles or soiled clothing, that have been contaminated with infected secretions.

There is no specific treatment or vaccine available for EVD, although potential new vaccines and drug therapies are being developed and tested.

Patients require intensive supportive therapy including intravenous fluids or oral rehydration with solutions including electrolytes, maintaining their oxygen status and blood pressure.
However, two American doctors received a "secret serum" called ZMapp during the Ebola outbreak of 2014, and lived to continue to fight Ebola in Africa.

Doctors continue to search for a cure for Ebola, and until they find that cure, they continue fighting to save the lives of those infected with the Ebola fever.
