Virus Classification Group: Group V (-)ssRNA.(-)ssRNA Order:MononegaviralesMononegavirales Family:FiloviridaeFiloviridae Genus:Ebolavirus Ebola’s natural reservoir is unknown. Non human primates have been the source of human infections but are not thought to be the reservoirs.

History Named after the Ebola River in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (formerly Zaire), near the first epidemics.Ebola RiverDemocratic Republic of the Congo Two species were identified in 1976: –Zaire ebolavirus (ZEBOV) and –Sudan ebolavirus (SEBOV) Case fatality rates of 83% and 54% respectively. A third species, Reston ebolavirus (REBOV), was discovered in November 1989 in a group of monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) imported from the Philippines. Ivory Coast ebolavirus – Only one case. Unlucky scientist.

OUTBREAKS EBOLA Saga

Saga Continues

Most Recent April 25 – June total of 12 cases including 9 deaths were reported in Etoumbi and Mbomo in the Cuvette Quest Region.

Modes of Transmission There are 3 modes of infection: 1.Unsterilized needles 2.Suboptimal Hospital conditions 3.Personal contact

Symptoms Onset of fever. Intense weakness. Muscle Pain. Headache. Soar Throat. Vommitting, Diarrhoea. Impaired Kidnay and liver function.

Is There a Cure? There are no known curative medications for Ebola. However, there have been very recent developments in preventative medications.

Vaccines In June, Jones and his colleagues, Dr. Heinz Feldmann of Winnipeg and Dr. Thomas Geisbert at Fort Detrick, Maryland announced that they had successfully vaccinated monkeys against the deadly Ebola virus The Ebola vaccine is based on the 1976 strain of the Zaire species and protects from the 1995, but not the other 2 species that affect humans.

Bioterrorism Airborne transmission of Ebola Zaire has been demonstrated in monkeys in a controlled laboratory experiment Plum Island…?

Conclusion Even though scientists have recently made breakthroughs there is still need for extensive research to find vaccines and cures for this deadly virus.
