Ebola: Hemorrhagic Fever Viruses

Ebola virus, which was first discovered in 1976, is a highly dangerous disease with a death rate of approximately 50%. Its spread is primarily concentrated in African countries south of the Sahara. The virus transmits through contact with contaminated body fluids or contaminated surfaces and tools, and it does not spread through the air. A recent outbreak in 2026 in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda has led to a global health emergency, coinciding with the Democratic Republic of Congo's participation in the World Cup. The incubation period of the disease ranges from two to 21 days. Initial symptoms include fever and fatigue, which can progress to bleeding and dysfunction of the liver and kidneys. Vaccines are currently available for certain strains of the virus, most notably the Ervebo vaccine used in emergency response efforts.
