The Ebola virus causes an acute, serious illness which is often fatal if untreated. Ebola virus disease (EVD) first appeared in 1976 in 2 simultaneous outbreaks, one in Nzara, Sudan, and the other in Yambuku, Democratic Republic of Congo. The latter occurred in a village near the Ebola River, from which the disease takes its name.
The current outbreak in west Africa, (first cases notified in March 2014), is the largest and most complex Ebola outbreak since the Ebola virus was first discovered in 1976. There have been more cases and deaths in this outbreak than all others combined. It has also spread between countries starting in Guinea then spreading across land borders to Sierra Leone and Liberia, by air (1 traveller only) to Nigeria, and by land (1 traveller) to Senegal.
The most severely affected countries, Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia have very weak health systems, lacking human and infrastructural resources, having only recently emerged from long periods of conflict and instability. On August 8, the WHO Director-General declared this outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern.
A separate, unrelated Ebola outbreak began in Boende, Equateur, an isolated part of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The virus family Filoviridae includes 3 genera: Cuevavirus, Marburgvirus, and Ebolavirus. There are 5 species that have been identified: Zaire, Bundibugyo, Sudan, Reston and Taï Forest. The first 3, Bundibugyo ebolavirus, Zaire ebolavirus, and Sudan ebolavirus have been associated with large outbreaks in Africa. The virus causing the 2014 west African outbreak belongs to the Zaire species.
Ebola Outbreak in Liberia : August 2014Amit Bhagat
This report is about the Outbreak of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) (also known as Ebola Hemmorhagic fever) in Liberia, which occurred mainly in most parts of the West Africa starting from Guinea and reaching to heart of Sierra Leone, Liberia, Nigeria and most other places. EVD is an epidemic disease and also highly infectious. This disease is very severe, rare and deadly, with a fatality rate of approx 90%. There is no such cure or vaccine is present, only some experimental drugs have been using (till date). Thus, many organizations viz WHO, CDC, Red Cross etc are working for prevention and relief of patients to fight against this epidemic disease.
The goal of this presentation is to raise the awarness about EBOLA virus and how serious is it increase the knowledge of all health care personnels about this dangerous disease

Ebola virus — causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, prognosis and prevention
1. Ebola virus disease
Ebola virus disease (EVD),
formerly known as Ebola
haemorrhagic fever, is a severe,
often fatal illness in humans.
EVD outbreaks have a case
fatality rate of up to 90%.
2. Ebola virus disease
EVD outbreaks occur primarily in
remote villages in Central and
West Africa, near tropical
rainforests.
Severely ill patients require
intensive supportive care. No
licensed specific treatment or
vaccine is available for use in
people or animals.
3. Ebola virus disease
The virus is transmitted to
people from wild animals
and spreads in the human
population through human-to-human
transmission.
Fruit bats of
the Pteropodidae family are
considered to be the natural
host of the Ebola virus.
4. Ebola virus disease
Ebola is introduced into the
human population through close
contact with the blood,
secretions, organs or other
bodily fluids of infected animals.
Men who have recovered from
the disease can still transmit
the virus through their semen
for up to 7 weeks after
recovery from illness.
5. Ebola virus disease
In Africa, infection has been
documented through the handling of
infected chimpanzees, gorillas, fruit
bats, monkeys, forest antelope and
porcupines found ill or dead or in
the rainforest.
6. Ebola virus disease
Burial ceremonies in which
mourners have direct contact with
the body of the deceased person
can also play a role in the
transmission of Ebola.
7. Ebola virus disease
Ebola then spreads in the community
through human-to-human transmission,
with infection resulting from direct
contact (through broken skin or
mucous membranes) with the blood,
secretions, organs or other bodily
fluids of infected people, and indirect
contact with environments
contaminated with such fluids.
8. Ebola virus disease
EVD is a severe acute viral illness often characterized by :
Sudden onset of fever
Intense weakness
Muscle pain,
Headache
9. Ebola virus disease
EVD is a severe acute viral illness often characterized by :
Vomiting
Diarrhea
Skin rash
Impaired kidney functions
10. Ebola virus disease
EVD is a severe acute viral illness often characterized by :
Impaired liver function
Internal and external bleeding
Sore throat
11. Ebola virus disease
Ebola virus infections can be diagnosed definitively in a laboratory
through several types of tests:
No animal vaccine against RESTV is
available. Routine cleaning and disinfection of
pig or monkey farms (with sodium
hypochlorite or other detergents) should be
effective in inactivating the virus.
12. Ebola virus disease
Ebola virus infections can be diagnosed definitively in a laboratory
through several types of tests:
If an outbreak is suspected, the premises should be
quarantined immediately. Culling of infected
animals, with close supervision of burial or
incineration of carcasses, may be necessary to
reduce the risk of animal-to-human transmission.
13. Ebola virus disease
Ebola virus infections can be diagnosed definitively in a laboratory
through several types of tests:
Restricting or banning the movement of
animals from infected farms to other
areas can reduce the spread of the
disease.
14. Ebola virus disease
Ebola virus infections can be diagnosed definitively in a laboratory
through several types of tests:
As RESTV outbreaks in pigs and monkeys have
preceded human infections, the establishment of an
active animal health surveillance system to detect new
cases is essential in providing early warning for
veterinary and human public health authorities.
15. Ebola virus disease
In the absence of effective treatment and a
human vaccine, raising awareness of the
risk factors for Ebola infection and the
protective measures individuals can take is
the only way to reduce human infection
and death.
16. Ebola virus disease
In Africa, during EVD outbreaks,
educational public health messages
for risk reduction should focus on
several factors:
17. Ebola virus disease
Reducing the risk of human-to-human
transmission in the community arising from
direct or close contact with infected patients,
particularly with their bodily fluids.
18. Ebola virus disease
Close physical contact with Ebola patients
should be avoided.
19. Ebola virus disease
Gloves and appropriate personal protective equipment should be
worn when taking care of ill patients at home.
20. Ebola virus disease
Regular hand washing is required
after visiting patients in hospital,
as well as after taking care of
patients at home.
21. Ebola virus disease
Human-to-human transmission of the
Ebola virus is primarily associated
with direct or indirect contact with
blood and body fluids.
22. Ebola virus disease
Transmission to health-care workers
has been reported when appropriate
infection control measures have not
been observed.
23. Ebola virus disease
It is not always possible to identify patients
with EBV early because initial symptoms may
be non-specific. It is important that health-care
workers apply standard precautions
consistently with all patients – regardless of
their diagnosis – in all work practices at all
times.
24. Ebola virus disease
These include basic hand hygiene,
respiratory hygiene, the use of
personal protective equipment
(according to the risk of splashes or
other contact with infected materials)
25. Ebola virus disease
Health-care workers caring for
patients with suspected or
confirmed Ebola virus should
apply.
26. Ebola virus disease
In addition to standard precautions, other
infection control measures to avoid any
exposure to the patient’s blood and body
fluids and direct unprotected contact with
the possibly contaminated environment.
27. Ebola virus disease
Your lifestyle can affect how well your
immune system can protect you from
germs, viruses, and chronic illness.
Replacing bad health habits with good
ones can help keep your immune
system healthy.
28. Ebola virus disease
Eating some pretty surprising nutrients will help keep your immune
system on guard. Adopt healthy-living strategies
Eat a diet high in fruits, vegetables
and whole grains.
Low in saturated fat.
29. Don’t smoke
Maintain a healthy weight.
Control your blood pressure.
Get adequate sleep.
Ebola virus disease
Take steps to avoid infection, such as washing your hands
frequently and cooking meats thoroughly.
30. Ebola virus disease
Get regular medical screening tests
for people in your age group and risk
category.
If you drink alcohol, drink only in
moderation.
