Abstract

Ebola virus disease (EVD) also known as Ebola haemorrhagic fever is a severe contagious disease affecting humans and non-human primates. It is usually transmitted to humans through direct contact with blood, tissue, body fluids and secretions from an infected animal or human. The causative agent is classified in the genus Ebolavirus of the Filoviridae family. Filoviruses are filamentous enveloped viruses containing a non-segmented, negative-strand genomic RNA of approximately 19 kilobases. Patients are diagnosed by testing of body fluids and serum with an ELISA test/ PCR; however the results are not always accurate. There is currently no treatment for Ebola hemorrhagic fever. Vaccines are in clinical trials and hold the future in preventing this disease. Ebola is on the United States’ list of possible bioterrorism agents because no humans have been found to have immunity to it.
