Prevention and control of ebola virus
1. Prevention and Control of Ebola
virus
Prevention, the cornerstone
NO TREATMENT
NO VACCINE
"There's no treatment under the sky
There's only to suffer and die"
- Dr. Rajarshi Gupta
2. Dynamics of the 2014 outbreak- What's different?
For any infection of epidemic proportions we have the
standard SIR model
R(removed/dead) death/removal
rate
S(susceptible) I(infected)
Infection
rate
Longer the person
stays infected and
symptomatic,the
more he spreads
3. Major Zaire subtype outbreaks till

5. Role of mass media - The public
panic dilemma
Also called " Infection of the mind"
OR
"Thought contagion"
Public panic fueled by mass media before adequate
prevention policies are laid down by bodies like
WHO/CDC, can cause epidemics to worsen by,
1. General mistrust of public in authorities
2. Measures taken by people themselves without adequate
knowledge
6. CITY A
(affected)
Premature panic
generated by mass
media, escape to safe
city
CITY B
(unaffected)
Symptomatic
Incubating +
Carriage of infection to susceptible
unaffected cities because
people in affected cities
panicked,
yet didn't know how to
prevent infection spread
from symptomatic
patients
7. OTHER HORRORS OF LACK OF
KNOWLEDGE THAT PREVENT
DISEASE CONTAINMENT
Dead bodies dumped into street in Liberia by panic stricken
relatives, to avoid identification by government and risk been
ostracized by community or kept in quarantine

8. Patient isolation
Preferably a separate building
If not possible a separate place in same
building
Well ventilated
Strictly meant for authorised personnel only
13. Personal Protective
Equipment(PPE)
Instructions as per the CDC guidelines
To be strictly adhered to
And the sequence to be followed exactly as
stated
28. • Remove inner layer of clothes and dress
in street clothes.
• Wash hands with soap and clean water
before leaving.
29. BLEACH SOLUTIONS
Ordinary bleach solution has a 5% chlorine
concentration.
1:10 bleach is a solution with 0.5%(w/v)
chlorine concentration.
1:100 bleach is a solution with 0.05%(w/v)
chlorine concentration.
* 0.5% chlorine is caustic and corrosive so
ordinarily not used in disinfection
30. Disinfect Reusable Supplies and
Equipment
With 1:100 bleach solutions prepared daily
Thermometer ( soak 10mins, then air dry)
Stethoscope ( wipe metal part for 30secs, then air dry)
Bedpans, buckets, utensils ( soak for 15 mins, then air dry,
wash with soap water)
Laundry itemslike gowns, sheets ( soak for 30 mins, then
soak overnight in soapy water, scrub,rinse and dry)
31.
32.
33. Disposal of non-reusable waste
Disinfect
Carry in secure containers to incineration site
Site should be away from populated areas
Burn in sufficient amount of fuel
Restrict access to children who might pick up things
Restrict access to animals who might spread waste
Deep burial of incineration ash(at least 2 metres)
Waste sharps to be shredded and disinfected or autocalved
Used disinfectants if not poured down drains, to be burnt
with waste
34. Dead body disposal
1. Place the body in a “body bag” (mortuary sack) and
close it securely. Spray the body bag with 1:10 bleach
solution.
2. Shortest route to burial site
3. Atleast 2 meters deep burial ground. Burial staff must
have Personal Protective Equipment(PPE).
4. Counsel family that body can't be viewed
5. Counsel family that only close members are allowed for
burial
* Driver need not wear protective clothing if he does not
come in contact with body
37. Contact tracing
Identify Patient’s Contacts and Travel History
Ask the patient (or a family member who can answer for the patient):
1.Where do you live?
2.When did the symptoms begin?
3.Who else is sick in your family (or village)?
4.Where have you travelled recently?
Use the answers to identify others who had contact with the
patient. Provide them with information about VHF and when to seek
care.
38. Identify Key Community Resources
Businesses
Schools
Sports clubs and other recreational clubs
Service organizations
Volunteer organizations and community service groups
Sports clubs and other recreational clubs
Service organizations
Volunteer organizations and community service groups.
40. Describe the Target Population
Maps of the town
The size of the population
Major ethnic groups in the town
Locations of any special populations such as refugees or
squatter settlements where the risk of disease transmission
may be particularly high
How many people may be affected by the outbreak
The populations at greatest risk
41. Describe modes of transmission
Describe actions necessary
Develop specific messages
- Door to door
- Mass media
-Posters and banners
- Via churches, mosques, religious leaders
42. Some posters being used to demonstrate
prevention in community( CDC, WHO,
UNICEF)

49. Everything boils down to Standard
precautions
1. Hand hygiene
2. Gloves
3. Facial protection
4. Gown
5. Prevention of needle stick injuries and injuries from other
sharp instruments
6. Respiratory hygiene and cough etiquette
7. Environmental cleaning
8. Proper handling of linen
9. Biomedical waste management
10. Proper handling of patient care equipment

50. Practical viewpoint: Precautions for
vascular access in Ebola patients
No additional precautions required
Standard precautions as per Occupational
Safety & Health Administration(OSHA) ie.
OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens Standard
51. Monitoring and Movement of Persons
with Ebola Virus Disease(EVD) Exposure
High risk exposure
(needle stick injuries
infectious splash
lab work without PPE
Symptomatic
funeral rites without PPE)
Full evaluation
with infection
control
precautions for
EVD and
contact history
Air medical transport only, if
transport of patient is
clinically indicated
NO PUBLIC
TRANSPORT
52. Monitoring and Movement of Persons
with Ebola Virus Disease(EVD) Exposure
High risk exposure
(needle stick injuries
infectious splash
lab work without PPE
funeral rites without PPE)
Asymptomatic
or
symptoms
evaluated and
not likely to be
EVD
Conditional release and controlled movement
until 21 days after last known exposure
53. Monitoring and Movement of Persons
with Ebola Virus Disease(EVD) Exposure
Low risk exposure
(Household member,
casual contact with patient)
Conditional release and controlled movement
until 21 days after last known exposure
54. Conditional release:
Monitoring by public health authority;
Twice-daily self-monitoring for fever;
Notify public health authority if fever or
other symptoms develop
55. Controlled movement:
Notification of public health authority; no travel
by commercial conveyances (airplane, ship, and
train);
Local travel for asymptomatic individuals (e.g.
taxi, bus) should be assessed in consultation
with local public health authorities;
Timely access to appropriate medical care if
symptoms develop

57. Summary
• Ebola is a viral hemorrhagic fever normally
circulating in fruit bats and wild animals
• A BSL-4 pathogen, spreads through body fluid
contact
• High case fatality
• Humans are accidental host
• No treatment, no licensed vaccine
• Prevention is the only cure
• Active surveillance necessary to identify sources
and susceptibles
