Obstacles in Stopping the Spread of Ebola Many illnesses that we know of can be easily treated, but what do we do if an untreatable disease is spreading? The first human Ebola outbreak occurred in 1976 and mostly subsided until an outbreak in 2014. Ebola has killed 5,000 people since it's outbreak earlier in 2014, and it has not been easy to contain. The biggest obstacles that compromise the containment of Ebola are as follows: fear, the ease of contraction, and the difficulty of treatment.…
Ebola: The Next Pandemic Throughout a lifetime, everyone encounters an illness at one point or another. Most people know someone who has had a serious medical condition such as cancer, an autoimmune disease, or a debilitating illness. However, many of these conditions take months or years to develop. Death from a medical condition normally doesn’t happen with in a few days. The Ebola virus is an exception. Soon after this virus invades the human body, hemorrhagic manifestations begin. This…
Did a simple chimp start this killer disease? Animal carcasses carry any infection they are carrying for three days after they are dead. When people handle these carcasses they contract the Ebola virus. What areas have restrictions on Ebola, all hospitals are on alert, symptoms of Ebola, U.S. response to Ebola in Africa, world struggles to stop Ebola, Ebola virus causes rapid decline in African wildlife, and the U.S. believes to have promising vaccines for Ebola. Ebola is a dangerous disease…
The Ebola outbreak in the United States is one of the most frightening outbreaks, for many reasons. One being that, few people knew how to combat the disease. For example, how does it travel and how do we protect ourselves? These questions are important in all diseases, yet the simple fact is, that we don’t know exactly know all the answers.

Is it a good idea to spend all this money on something that could never happen in America again? Yes, the U.S. needs to take whatever steps necessary to stop the spread of Ebola. This is why the U.S. and…
composed of GP1 and GP2 [2]. The viral glycoprotein mediates viral entry into host cells via endocytosis. Entry into the acidic cellular endosome or lysosome causes GP cleavage by proteases, thus releasing the nucleocapsid, and initiating early gene expression [4]. Associated with the nucleocapsid are structural proteins VP35, VP30, and VP24. VP35 and VP24 inhibit host interferons, whereas VP40 functions as a matrix protein to mediate the association between viral GPs and the nucleocapsid [2].…
