The virus was traced down to a single person, probably infected by a bat. The virus can be passed on through direct contact with the blood, body fluids and tissues of infected fruit bats or primates. During the first outbreak in Congo, nurses in the hospitals used 5 syringes for 300-600 patients a day. This indirect contact with bodily fluids through the syringe helped the virus spread even quicker. In occurrence of this the World Health Organization predicts nearly 60% of all Ebola cases reported can be linked to traditional burial practices.]]> 2018-11-13 20:08:50 UTC https://padlet.com/choey4/qurszbc62sm0/wish/304009820 vnardulli1 https://padlet.com/choey4/qurszbc62sm0/wish/304014083 The signs and symptoms of Ebola can include high fever, muscle aches, headaches, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, bleeding from the eyes, ears, gums, nose, rectum, and internal organs also bruising of the skin indicating internal bleeding.]]> 2018-11-13 20:15:47 UTC https://padlet.com/choey4/qurszbc62sm0/wish/304014083 choey4 https://padlet.com/choey4/qurszbc62sm0/wish/304014849 Currently there is no cure for the Ebola Virus although there is many highly effective treatments.
Treatments include a type of lemon (Benzeher lemon) and the seeds of Nigella sativa plant. These are two strong natural products for prevention and cure of Ebola disease. Another home made treatment would Providing intravenous fluids (IV) and balancing electrolytes, maintaining oxygen status and blood pressure and treating other infections if they occur. No treatment works 100% yet although the closest cure would be the VSV-EBOV vaccine which is effective 85 to 95% of the time.]]> 2018-11-13 20:17:21 UTC https://padlet.com/choey4/qurszbc62sm0/wish/304014849 vnardulli1 https://padlet.com/choey4/qurszbc62sm0/wish/304017331 Organisms that the virus can infect are humans, chimpanzees, gorillas, fruit bats, monkeys, forest antelope and porcupines found dead or ill in the rain forest.]]> 2018-11-13 20:22:27 UTC https://padlet.com/choey4/qurszbc62sm0/wish/304017331 vnardulli1 https://padlet.com/choey4/qurszbc62sm0/wish/305000302 Ebola goes through a lysogenic life cycle. The virus attaches to the outside of the cell and once it finds a host cell the virus will make its way inside. The cells that are used the most frequently used are dendritic, endothelial and other immune cells.]]> 2018-11-15 19:46:01 UTC https://padlet.com/choey4/qurszbc62sm0/wish/305000302 vnardulli1 https://padlet.com/choey4/qurszbc62sm0/wish/305006217 There has been an Ebola outbreak in West Africa and it was the largest outbreak in history.  There has been 33 recorded Ebola outbreaks since 1976. There has been 28,00 reported cases and 11,325 deaths from Ebola. Ebola is also caused by an RNA virus.]]> 2018-11-15 19:57:40 UTC https://padlet.com/choey4/qurszbc62sm0/wish/305006217 choey4 https://padlet.com/choey4/qurszbc62sm0/wish/305007745 The Ebola virus is highly transmissible by direct contact with infected blood, and other bodily fluids from dead or living infected people. The first outbreak of the virus was passed on through direct contact with the blood, body fluids and tissues of infected fruit bats and primates. The current outbreak of Ebola was about 50% from direct contact through cultural and traditional practices. The practices included getting the bodies ready for the ceremony to respect the dead. Through this the people who prepared the bodies were infected by the very contagious bodies that had been killed by this disease. ]]> 2018-11-15 20:00:41 UTC https://padlet.com/choey4/qurszbc62sm0/wish/305007745 vnardulli1 https://padlet.com/choey4/qurszbc62sm0/wish/305014577
