Ebola Virus is a rare, deadly severe virus that causes bleeding in and out the body. Its Origin is Sierra Leone. The virus flows through the body, it messes up the immune system and some organs. For the most part it causes levels of blood-clotting cells to drop. The Ebola Virus leads to, nonstop bleeding. The disease, also known as hemorrhagic fever or Ebola virus, kills 100% of people who are infected. Ebola isn’t as contagious as more common like Marburg, or measles. It spreads to humans with contact with the bodily liquids of a contaminated animal, like fruit bat. The Ebola Virus moves from human to human the way. The people who care for a person who died from the Ebola often get Ebola. Early on, the virus can feel like Marburg or Chicken

Because the natural host of Ebola viruses has not been found. The way in which the virus first looks in a human at the beginning of an outbreak is not known. Anyway, scientists think that the patient becomes infected through contact with an infected animal, such as a fruit bat, which is called a spillover event. Human-to-human transmission goes and can lead to huge numbers of people with the Ebola virus. In some past Ebola outbreaks, people who were also affected with Ebola and multiple spillover events occurred when people touched or ate infected primates. Possibly you can get Ebola from contact with semen from a man who has recovered from Ebola for example, by having oral, vaginal sex. Ebola is not spread through the air, by water, or in general, by food. However, in Africa, Ebola may be spread as a result of handling bush meat (wild animals hunted for food) and contact with infected bats. There is no evidence that mosquitoes or other insects can transmit Ebola virus. Only a few species of mammals (e.g., humans, bats, monkeys, and apes) have shown the ability to become infected with and spread Ebola virus. First, the agency says, the virus is not …show more content…
People don’t even need to have symptoms to spread those diseases, she says. Ebola, on the other hand, is contagious only when someone has symptoms. Scientists have been studying Ebola for decades, and they’ve never seen the disease passed through the air, according to the WHO. What’s more, it’s highly unlikely that the virus could change to become airborne. The only way Ebola gets into the air is in large droplets of vomit or saliva. These droplets are heavy and wouldn’t be able to travel very far. In theory, people might be able to catch it if someone coughed or sneezed directly onto them, but people who get Ebola generally do not cough sneeze. They either get touched by a(n) human or by a(n) animal . Finally, they say saliva and tears may also carry some risk, but it says more research in the Ebola virus is need. In studies of saliva, the virus was only located in people who were in severe stages of the disease. The living Ebola virus has never been found in sweat, they say. In theory, then, a person might be able to touch a contaminated surface, and become
