Ebola and mortality risk
Ebola virus is a serious disease that causes a fatality rate ranging from 25% to 90%. Its symptoms include severe fever, fatigue, diarrhea, and internal and external bleeding. The virus is transmitted from wild animals to humans through contact with their secretions, and from person to person via body fluids and direct contact with deceased bodies, with no proven airborne transmission. It replicates inside immune system cells, leading to the destruction of blood vessels and organ deterioration. Diagnosis is made through laboratory tests. Supportive treatment and recent vaccines help in reducing its spread.
