Experts explain Ebola transmission
Ebola virus disease depends on transmission through direct contact with the blood or body fluids of an infected person. The person becomes contagious after symptoms appear, which include fever, fatigue, and muscle pain. In some cases, symptoms progress to bleeding and severe complications. Currently, the outbreak is centered in Central Africa, with new cases and deaths reported in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda, amid fears of its spread to border regions with fragile healthcare systems. Efforts by the World Health Organization and local authorities continue to contain the outbreak through contact tracing, increased surveillance measures, and medical support.
