Ebola

                                                             Aim
To understand the virus called ebola and what is this ebola and what region it has affected ,how can you treat it ,how it can be transmitted through place to place and from human being to human ,and the midiat which help it to be possible to travel from some region,even what should be done for the person who is affected or how to cure the affected person .

 
                                                  Introduction
Ebola is a rare but deadly virus that causes fever, body aches, and diarrhea, and sometimes bleeding inside and outside the body.As the virus spreads through the body, it damages the immune system and organs. Ultimately, it causes levels of blood-clotting cells to drop. This leads to severe, uncontrollable bleeding.The disease was known as Ebola hemorrhagic fever but is now referred to as Ebola virus.It kills up to 90% of people who are infected,There are five types of Ebola virus. Four of them cause the disease in humans.The Ebola virus first appeared during two 1976 outbreaks in Africa.Ebola gets its name from the Ebola River, which is near one of the villages in the Democratic Republic of Congo where the disease first appeared .

                                                  Transmission
Ebola isn’t as contagious as more common viruses like Ebola isn’t as contagious as more common viruses like colds, influenza, or measles. It spreads to people by contact with the skin or bodily fluids of an infected animal, like a monkey, chimp, or fruit bat. Then it moves from person to person the same way. Those who care for a sick person or bury someone who has died from the disease often get it.Other ways to get Ebola include touching contaminated needles or surfaces.You can’t get Ebola from air, water, or food. A person who has Ebola but has no symptoms can’t spread the disease, either.
     
                                            Symptoms
Early on, Ebola can feel like the flu or other illnesses. Symptoms show up 2 to 21 days after infection and usually include:

• High fever
•  Headache
•  Joint and muscle aches 
• Sore throat 
• Weakness 
• Stomach pain
•  Lack of appetite

 As the disease gets worse, it causes bleeding inside the body, as well as from the eyes, ears, and nose. Some people will vomit or cough up blood, have bloody diarrhea, and get a rash.
 
                                                  Diagnosis   
sometimes it's hard to tell if a person has Ebola from the symptoms alone. Doctors may test to rule out other diseases like cholera or malaria.Tests of blood and tissues also can diagnose Ebola.If you have Ebola, you’ll be isolated from the public immediately to prevent the spread.

                                                                       
                                                 Treatment
There’s no cure for Ebola, though researchers are working on it. Treatment includes an experimental serum that destroys infected cells. Doctors manage the symptoms of Ebola with: Fluids and electrolytes Oxygen Blood pressure medication Blood transfusions Treatment for other infections, Prevention There’s no vaccine to prevent Ebola. The best way to avoid catching the disease is by not traveling to areas where the virus is found.If you are in areas where Ebola is present, avoid contact with bats, monkeys, chimpanzees, and gorillas since these animals spread Ebola to people. Health care workers can prevent infection by wearing masks, gloves, and goggles whenever they come into contact with people who may have Ebola. 

   
                     Conclusion
   In conclusion ebola it is the disease which can only be transmitted by the contact of the body parts, and sometimes its by the contact of the animals such as the gorira and monkey which as been proved to be most common animals to be be cariers of the virus especially in congo and some countries. ebola can be prevented by avoiding the contact and by not going into countries affected by ebola.
