Ebola virus is a viral illness caused by one of five viruses in the Ebolavirus genus. It has a 19 kilobase pair genome containing seven genes and a filamentous particle structure. Symptoms include fever, sore throat, vomiting, diarrhea and internal/external bleeding. It is transmitted through contact with infected body fluids and transmission can also occur at funerals or from handling bushmeat. There is currently no approved vaccine for humans.

2013 Human consumption of equatorial animals in
Africa in the form of bushmeat has been linked to
the transmission of diseases to people, including
Ebola.

6. GENOMES
)
19 kilobase pairs long
seven genes in the order
3'-UTR-NP-VP35-VP40-GP-VP30-VP24-L-5'-UTR.

7. STRUCTURE
 Filamentous particles
 The shape of a shepherd's crook or in the shape of
a "U" or a "6", and they may be coiled, toroid, or
branched.
 80 nm in width
 length of ebolaviruses ranges from 974 to
1,086 nm

8. SYMPTOMS
 Fever, sore throat, muscle pain and headaches.
 Typically, vomiting, diarrhea and rash follow, along
with decreased functioning of the liver and kidneys.
 Begin to bleed both within the body and externally.

9. CONT…..
 influenza-like stage
 fatigue, fever, headaches, joint, muscle and
abdominal pain. Vomiting, diarrhea and loss of
appetite
 Less common symptoms:
 sore throat, chest pain, hiccups, shortness of
breath and trouble swallowing

10.  Incubation period:
 8 to 10 days
 vary between 2 and 21 days.
 Skin manifestations:
 maculopapular rash (in about 50% of cases).

11. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

12. TRANSMISSION
 It then spreads between humans by direct contact
with infected blood, bodily fluids or organs, or
indirectly through contact with contaminated
environments.
 Even funerals of Ebola victims can be a risk, if
mourners have direct contact with the body of the
deceased.

13. PRECAUTIONS

14. CONT….
 No vaccine is currently available for humans.
 Please take precautions against this Virus and
spread the awareness!!
