Ebola virus facts 
Ebola virus disease (formerly known as Ebola haemorrhagic fever) is a 
severe, often fatal illness, with a case fatality rate of up to 90%. It is one of 
the world’s most virulent diseases. The infection is transmitted by direct 
contact with the blood, body fluids and tissues of infected animals or 
people. 
Severely ill patients require intensive supportive care. During an outbreak, 
those at higher risk of infection are health workers, family members and 
others in close contact with sick people and deceased patients. (World 
Health Organization)

WHO: Ebola death rate rises to 70 percent 
The death rate in the Ebola outbreak has risen to 70 percent and there 
could be up to 10,000 new cases a week in two months, the World 
Health Organization warned Tuesday. 
WHO assistant director-general Dr. Bruce Aylward gave the grim 
figures during a news conference in Geneva. Previously, WHO had 
estimated the death rate at around 50 percent. 
Aylward said the 70 percent death rate was “a high mortality disease” 
in any circumstance and that the U.N. health agency was still focused 
on trying to get sick people isolated and provide treatment as early as 
possible. 
He told reporters that if the world’s response to the Ebola crisis isn’t 
stepped up within 60 days, “a lot more people will die” and there will be 
a huge need to deal with the spiraling numbers of cases.

How is Ebola spread? 
The Ebola virus is transmitted in the bodily 
fluids of people who are seriously ill, who 
are likely to be vomiting, bleeding or have 
diarrhoea. Blood, faeces and vomit are the 
most infectious fluids, and in late stages of 
the disease even tiny amounts can carry 
high loads of virus. But a nurse who got a 
patient’s blood on their hands could wash it 
off with soap and water without any ill-effects. 
He or she would become ill only if 
they had a cut or abrasion on their hand or 
touched their mouth, eyes or nose, which 
would allow the virus to pass into their 
bodily fluids.
What are the symptoms? 
It can take two to 21 days for symptoms to 
show, although usually it is five to seven 
days. Typically, the first signs are a fever 
involving a headache, joint and muscle 
pain, sore throat and severe muscle 
weakness. Many of those symptoms are 
similar to flu, so Ebola is not immediately 
obvious, though it should be suspected in 
anyone who has been in west Africa 
recently. After that come diarrhoea, 
vomiting, a rash and stomach pain. The 
kidneys and liver stop working properly. 
Patients may bleed internally and also from 
the ears, nose, eyes and mouth.
What about sweat – for example could I 
get Ebola from using gym equipment? 
No. Nobody who had Ebola and was 
symptomatic, with intense muscle 
weakness and a fever in the early stages, 
would be well enough to go to the gym – 
and until they are symptomatic, they are 
not infectious. Sweat, anyway, is probably 
not a source of large amounts of virus – in 
fact, the World Health Organisation (WHO) 
says whole live virus has never been 
isolated from sweat.
How about saliva? 
WHO says saliva at the most severe stage of the disease, and also 
tears, may carry some risk, but the studies are inconclusive. The virus 
has been detected in breast milk. A 2007 study in the Journal of 
Infectious Diseases is probably the most informative on where the virus 
hides. 
Can I get Ebola from a toilet seat? 
Yes – faeces from somebody with Ebola are a real hazard and the virus 
has also been detected in urine. But there would only be a danger if a 
seriously sick person had used the toilet and contaminated it and that is 
most likely in their home or hospital. Public toilets, in general, are very 
unlikely to be a risk. 
Can it be sexually transmitted? 
Yes, and the virus lasts in the semen of people who have recovered, 
maybe for as long as 90 days.
A Liberian policeman watches as an Ebola burial team prepares to take away the body of Mekie Nagbe, 28, for cremation on October 10, 2014 in Monrovia, Liberia. 
Nagbe, a market vendor, collapsed and died outside her home earlier in the morning while leaving to walk to a treatment center, according to her relatives. The 
burial of loved ones is important in Liberian culture, making the removal of infected bodies for cremation all the more traumatic for surviving family members. (Getty

Could I catch Ebola from using a taxi that has taken a patient to hospital? 
The virus can be transmitted on surfaces that bodily fluids have touched, so if 
somebody had bled or vomited on the seat, there would be a risk to anybody 
who had a cut or touched their face with contaminated hands. In Europe or the 
US, if a patient was diagnosed with Ebola, there would be a massive effort from 
the public health authorities to trace their movements as well as their contacts. 
Any taxi they had travelled in while sick would have to be decontaminated. 
Could I catch Ebola from door handles a patient had touched? 
Yes, if the handle was contaminated with blood, vomit or faeces, which would 
be more likely in the house where the patient had been living when they fell 
sick, or in the hospital. But if people have intact skin, do not touch their eyes, 
nose or mouth and frequently wash their hands, they will not get infected.
What can be done in railway stations, schools or other public places to 
prevent contagion? 
There are strict decontamination procedures that must be followed. Any area 
visibly contaminated – where there is blood, vomit or faeces – and toilets and 
surfaces lots of people touch, such as door handles and telephones, must be 
wiped with disposable towels to remove any visible fluids, then cleaned with 
detergent or soap and water and allowed to dry. Then they must be 
disinfected, for instance with diluted bleach – one part bleach to four parts 
water. Those who do the cleaning must be fully covered, with long sleeved 
shirts tucked into disposable gloves and trousers tucked into socks and closed 
shoes. Any cuts or abrasions must be covered with plasters. But there is no 
need to clean corridors or areas that the person has just passed through.
How long can the virus survive? 
The virus is quite fragile and is easily 
destroyed by UV light, drying out, high 
temperatures (which is helpful in west 
Africa) and disinfectants including soapy 
water and alcohol gel. The longest it is 
likely to survive is a few days, if left in a 
pool of bodily fluid in a cool, damp place. 
Is food safe? 
Yes, if it is cooked. The Ebola virus is 
inactivated through cooking. Raw bush 
meat is a risk. Past outbreaks of Ebola in 
Africa came from the hunting, butchering 
and preparing of bush meat for people to 
eat.
Is Ebola virus airborne? Should I wear a 
mask? 
No. The virus is not airborne. In spite of 
speculation, the UN Ebola Mission for 
Emergency Response says extensive 
studies of the virus have not shown any 
airborne transmission . Patients do not 
cough and sneeze a lot with this disease 
and the WHO states in an advisory notice: 
“Epidemiological data emerging from the 
outbreak are not consistent with the pattern 
of spread seen with airborne viruses, like 
those that cause measles and chickenpox, 
or the airborne bacterium that causes 
tuberculosis.”
What if somebody coughs or sneezes in my face? 
There is a theoretical possibility that a person heavily infected with Ebola 
could cough violently and send wet, heavy droplets into the face of somebody 
nearby. The person most at risk of catching Ebola this way would be whoever 
is nursing the patient, and they would hopefully be wearing protective clothing 
including a mask. 
Could the Ebola virus mutate to change the way it is transmitted? 
Although viruses do mutate, scientists say no virus, to their knowledge, has 
changed its mode of transmission, and there is no evidence that it is 
happening with Ebola. 
Are spaceman-style protective suits any good, given that some health 
workers wearing them have got Ebola? 
They work as long as they are used properly. There are strict procedures for 
taking them off when the gloves and outside of the suit may be covered in 
virus. The US Centers for Disease Control has a guide for safe removal , to 
ensure bare hands do not touch contaminated material.

A neighbor sits outside the locked door where Eric Duncan, the first Ebola patient to develop symptoms in the United States, rented a room on October 2, 2014 in 
Monrovia, Liberia. Duncan, a Liberian citizen, reportedly physically assisted Marthalene Williams, 19, and 6 1/2 months pregnant, to a Monrovia hospital on 
September 15, where she was turned away. She died on September 17 but not before probably infecting him, and he then flew to Dallas without showing symptoms, 
arriving September 20 and became sick several days later. Officials say they up to 100 people in Dallas may have been exposed to the deadly virus by people who 
Ducan came in contact with before he was admitted to Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital. (Getty Images/John Moore)
Doctors Without Borders (MSF) displays a family and home disinfection kit which MSF distributed on October 4, 2014 in New Kru Town, Liberia. MSF gave out 
thousands of the kits in early morning distributions, some of 50,000 such "Ebola kits" to be given to families throughout the capital area. The kits, which include 
buckets, soap, gloves, anti-contamination gowns, plastic bags, a spray bottle and masks, are meant to give people some level of protection if a family member 
becomes sick, possibly from Ebola. (Getty Images/John Moore)

  • 7. Ebola virus facts Ebola virus disease (formerly known as Ebola haemorrhagic fever) is a severe, often fatal illness, with a case fatality rate of up to 90%. It is one of the world’s most virulent diseases. The infection is transmitted by direct contact with the blood, body fluids and tissues of infected animals or people. Severely ill patients require intensive supportive care. During an outbreak, those at higher risk of infection are health workers, family members and others in close contact with sick people and deceased patients. (World Health Organization)

  • 15. WHO: Ebola death rate rises to 70 percent The death rate in the Ebola outbreak has risen to 70 percent and there could be up to 10,000 new cases a week in two months, the World Health Organization warned Tuesday. WHO assistant director-general Dr. Bruce Aylward gave the grim figures during a news conference in Geneva. Previously, WHO had estimated the death rate at around 50 percent. Aylward said the 70 percent death rate was “a high mortality disease” in any circumstance and that the U.N. health agency was still focused on trying to get sick people isolated and provide treatment as early as possible. He told reporters that if the world’s response to the Ebola crisis isn’t stepped up within 60 days, “a lot more people will die” and there will be a huge need to deal with the spiraling numbers of cases.

  • 16. Liberia races to expand Ebola treatment facilities A World Health Organization official says there could be up to 10,000 new cases of Ebola per week within two months. WHO assistant director-general Dr. Bruce Aylward says if the response to the Ebola crisis isn't stepped up within 60 days, "a lot more people will die" and there will be a huge need on the ground to deal with the spiraling numbers of cases. He said WHO estimated there could up to 10,000 cases per week in two months. (AP) Photo:A doctor outside the JFK Ebola treatment center speaks to journalists on October 13, 2014 in Monrovia, Liberia.

  • 20. How is Ebola spread? The Ebola virus is transmitted in the bodily fluids of people who are seriously ill, who are likely to be vomiting, bleeding or have diarrhoea. Blood, faeces and vomit are the most infectious fluids, and in late stages of the disease even tiny amounts can carry high loads of virus. But a nurse who got a patient’s blood on their hands could wash it off with soap and water without any ill-effects. He or she would become ill only if they had a cut or abrasion on their hand or touched their mouth, eyes or nose, which would allow the virus to pass into their bodily fluids.
  • 21. What are the symptoms? It can take two to 21 days for symptoms to show, although usually it is five to seven days. Typically, the first signs are a fever involving a headache, joint and muscle pain, sore throat and severe muscle weakness. Many of those symptoms are similar to flu, so Ebola is not immediately obvious, though it should be suspected in anyone who has been in west Africa recently. After that come diarrhoea, vomiting, a rash and stomach pain. The kidneys and liver stop working properly. Patients may bleed internally and also from the ears, nose, eyes and mouth.
  • 22. What about sweat – for example could I get Ebola from using gym equipment? No. Nobody who had Ebola and was symptomatic, with intense muscle weakness and a fever in the early stages, would be well enough to go to the gym – and until they are symptomatic, they are not infectious. Sweat, anyway, is probably not a source of large amounts of virus – in fact, the World Health Organisation (WHO) says whole live virus has never been isolated from sweat.
  • 23. How about saliva? WHO says saliva at the most severe stage of the disease, and also tears, may carry some risk, but the studies are inconclusive. The virus has been detected in breast milk. A 2007 study in the Journal of Infectious Diseases is probably the most informative on where the virus hides. Can I get Ebola from a toilet seat? Yes – faeces from somebody with Ebola are a real hazard and the virus has also been detected in urine. But there would only be a danger if a seriously sick person had used the toilet and contaminated it and that is most likely in their home or hospital. Public toilets, in general, are very unlikely to be a risk. Can it be sexually transmitted? Yes, and the virus lasts in the semen of people who have recovered, maybe for as long as 90 days.
  • 24. A Liberian policeman watches as an Ebola burial team prepares to take away the body of Mekie Nagbe, 28, for cremation on October 10, 2014 in Monrovia, Liberia. Nagbe, a market vendor, collapsed and died outside her home earlier in the morning while leaving to walk to a treatment center, according to her relatives. The burial of loved ones is important in Liberian culture, making the removal of infected bodies for cremation all the more traumatic for surviving family members. (Getty Images/John Moore)

  • 26. Could I catch Ebola from using a taxi that has taken a patient to hospital? The virus can be transmitted on surfaces that bodily fluids have touched, so if somebody had bled or vomited on the seat, there would be a risk to anybody who had a cut or touched their face with contaminated hands. In Europe or the US, if a patient was diagnosed with Ebola, there would be a massive effort from the public health authorities to trace their movements as well as their contacts. Any taxi they had travelled in while sick would have to be decontaminated. Could I catch Ebola from door handles a patient had touched? Yes, if the handle was contaminated with blood, vomit or faeces, which would be more likely in the house where the patient had been living when they fell sick, or in the hospital. But if people have intact skin, do not touch their eyes, nose or mouth and frequently wash their hands, they will not get infected.
  • 27. What can be done in railway stations, schools or other public places to prevent contagion? There are strict decontamination procedures that must be followed. Any area visibly contaminated – where there is blood, vomit or faeces – and toilets and surfaces lots of people touch, such as door handles and telephones, must be wiped with disposable towels to remove any visible fluids, then cleaned with detergent or soap and water and allowed to dry. Then they must be disinfected, for instance with diluted bleach – one part bleach to four parts water. Those who do the cleaning must be fully covered, with long sleeved shirts tucked into disposable gloves and trousers tucked into socks and closed shoes. Any cuts or abrasions must be covered with plasters. But there is no need to clean corridors or areas that the person has just passed through.
  • 28. How long can the virus survive? The virus is quite fragile and is easily destroyed by UV light, drying out, high temperatures (which is helpful in west Africa) and disinfectants including soapy water and alcohol gel. The longest it is likely to survive is a few days, if left in a pool of bodily fluid in a cool, damp place. Is food safe? Yes, if it is cooked. The Ebola virus is inactivated through cooking. Raw bush meat is a risk. Past outbreaks of Ebola in Africa came from the hunting, butchering and preparing of bush meat for people to eat.
  • 29. Is Ebola virus airborne? Should I wear a mask? No. The virus is not airborne. In spite of speculation, the UN Ebola Mission for Emergency Response says extensive studies of the virus have not shown any airborne transmission . Patients do not cough and sneeze a lot with this disease and the WHO states in an advisory notice: “Epidemiological data emerging from the outbreak are not consistent with the pattern of spread seen with airborne viruses, like those that cause measles and chickenpox, or the airborne bacterium that causes tuberculosis.”
  • 30. What if somebody coughs or sneezes in my face? There is a theoretical possibility that a person heavily infected with Ebola could cough violently and send wet, heavy droplets into the face of somebody nearby. The person most at risk of catching Ebola this way would be whoever is nursing the patient, and they would hopefully be wearing protective clothing including a mask. Could the Ebola virus mutate to change the way it is transmitted? Although viruses do mutate, scientists say no virus, to their knowledge, has changed its mode of transmission, and there is no evidence that it is happening with Ebola. Are spaceman-style protective suits any good, given that some health workers wearing them have got Ebola? They work as long as they are used properly. There are strict procedures for taking them off when the gloves and outside of the suit may be covered in virus. The US Centers for Disease Control has a guide for safe removal , to ensure bare hands do not touch contaminated material.

She died on September 17 but not before probably infecting him, and he then flew to Dallas without showing symptoms, arriving September 20 and became sick several days later. Officials say they up to 100 people in Dallas may have been exposed to the deadly virus by people who Ducan came in contact with before he was admitted to Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital.
