Treatment 
-A antiviral drug called Zmapp has a high level of protection against the ebolavirus 
- Zmapp is a mixture of three different antibodies that bind to proteins on ebolavirus  

Transition 
-Fruit bats are the natural host 
-The fruit bats transmitted other animals including apes, monkeys and certain antelopes 
-Humans can get infected form contact with an infected animal 
-A human can get infected by an animal if they hunt or by handling the animals bodily fluids or droppings
-Humans can get infected by other humans form either direct contact or from the blood and body fluids of a sick person 
Symptoms 
- Some of the first signs  of ebola are severe headaches, high fever, muscle aches, and loss of apatite  
-In ebola clots lodge throughout the body but mainly in the liver spleen and brain the clots fill capillaries and shut off the blood flow to the organs. 
This causes the affected organs to decay 
-Blood leaks though capillaries and into the tissues at this point the blood will not clot 
- Nausea, vomiting, and bloody diarrhea soon follow as well as a severe rash on the body and head
-By now the body's internal cavities fill with blood and blood leaks from all orifices and though the skin
-Death usually occurs from excessive blood loss shock or kidney failure 
-Ebola killed one quarter of the earths gorilla population 
-In Ebola research scientists found out that rabbits do not get ill if injected with the Ebola virus and guinea pigs only become slightly ill   
Outbreaks 
- The first Ebola outbreak was in 1976 in Zaire now located Republic of Congo and Sudan The first Ebola outbreak resulted in 400 deaths 
-200 more people died in out break in the Republic of Congo in 1995 
-Several other smaller outbreaks occurred in central Africa between 2007 to 2009 
-The 2014 Ebola outbreak was an especially harsh epidemic that effected several effected   countries in western Africa 2014-15   
The outbreak was caused by a strain of Zaire Ebola virus it is thought that it started with a few cases in southern Guinea in
-December, by the spring of 2014 the disease spread across Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone  
-As the outbreak Progressed, The possibility for the spread of Ebola to the counties outside western Africa rose
-A small number of Ebola cases in Nigeria and  Senegal were caused by infected individuals who had been infected and traveled Liberia and Guinea
-Ebola emerged in the United States in late 2014 in a man who had traveled by plane from Liberia to Dallas Texas where he developed symptoms of illness and died 
-This was marked as the first case connected with the outbreak to be diagnosed outside of Africa 
-About the same time the Spanish heath officials reported transmission of Ebola within Spain's borders  
-Most people infected with Ebola carry very high concentrations of the virus in there blood
-Specialized blood test exist that can accurately detect if someone has been infected with the virus  
-The test are extremely important when outbreaks occur because researchers want to know with out doubt what is causing the illness so they can better control its spread 
-For small rural undeveloped areas that cant afford these tests it is harder to stop these outbreaks  How ever if f someone in the USA got infected these tests would certainly be done
-In undeveloped places they don't have proper equipment to treat patients who have Ebola so they are more likely to get Ebola than people who do have proper equipment
