(MOVIE SYNOPSIS)
World War Z
Retired U.N. investigator Gerry Lane (Brad Pitt) and his family are sitting in what appears to be a
typical Philadelphia traffic jam when helicopters began to circle ominously overhead, and an explosion
throws the city into panic. In the blink of an eye, the streets are consumed by chaos. When Gerry learns
that the catalyst for the turmoil is a highly contagious virus that transforms those who contract it into
rampaging maniacs, and that legions of the infected are growing on all continents, he agrees to join his
former colleagues in discovering the source of the rampant plague so that his wife and two daughters will
be guaranteed safety aboard a UN fleet in the Atlantic Ocean. Upon tracing a crucial e-mail to a U.S.
military base in South Korea, Gerry learns that the infection has spread more rapidly than anyone realizes.
Although a subsequent trip to Jerusalem, where the government has constructed a massive wall to keep
the public safe, initially offers hope that the growing horde can be kept at bay, an unexpected breach
sends Gerry back into the sky in search of patient zero. Just when Gerry thinks he's traced the origins of
the virus, however, the unthinkable happens. Subsequently stranded in Cardiff with a fearless Israeli
soldier, Gerry quickly makes his way to a World Health Organization outpost where the few remaining
scientists have hit a dead end in their search for a cure. But the struggle is far from over, and after
recalling an unusual scene witnessed in Jerusalem, Gerry prepares to make a leap of faith that could
prevent the downfall of humanity.
After an unprecedented series of natural disasters threatened
the planet, the world's leaders came together to create an intricate
network of satellites to control the global climate and keep everyone
safe. But now, something has gone wrong: the system built to protect
Earth is attacking it, and it becomes a race against the clock to
uncover the real threat before a worldwide geostorm wipes out
everything and everyone along with it
In the near future, when climate-controlling satellites malfunction and release disaster-
creating small pods all over the world, Jake Lawson (Gerard Butler) and his other fellow
astronauts head into space to prevent the satellites from programming the small pods into
creating a storm of epic proportions.
The story sees Gerard Butler playing a stubborn but charming satellite designer who,
when the world’s climate-controlling satellites malfunction, has to work together with his
estranged brother to save the world from a man-made storm of epic proportions. A trip into
space follows, while on Earth a plot to assassinate the president begins to unfold.

Ebola virus disease (EVD), Ebola hemorrhagic fever (EHF), or simply Ebola is a disease of
humans and other primates caused by an ebolavirus. Symptoms start two days to three weeks
after contracting the virus, with a fever, sore throat, muscle pain and headaches. Typically,
vomiting, diarrhea and rash follow, along with decreased functioning of the liver and kidneys.
Around this time, affected people may begin to bleed both within the body and externally.[1]
The virus may be acquired upon contact with blood or bodily fluids of an infected animal.[1]
Spreading through the air has not been documented in the natural environment.[2]
Fruit bats are
believed to carry and spread the virus without being affected. Once human infection occurs, the
disease may spread between people, as well. Male survivors may be able to transmit the disease
via semen for nearly two months. To make the diagnosis, typically other diseases with similar
symptoms such as malaria, cholera and other viral hemorrhagic fevers are first excluded. To
confirm the diagnosis, blood samples are tested for viral antibodies, viral RNA, or the virus
itself.[1]
Prevention includes decreasing the spread of disease from infected animals to humans. This may
be done by checking such animals for infection and killing and properly disposing of the bodies
if the disease is discovered. Properly cooking meat and wearing protective clothing when
handling meat may also be helpful, as are wearing protective clothing and washing hands when
around a person with the disease. Samples of bodily fluids and tissues from people with the
disease should be handled with special caution.[1]
No specific treatment for the disease is yet available.[1]
Efforts to help those who are infected are
supportive and include giving either oral rehydration therapy (slightly sweet and salty water to
drink) or intravenous fluids.[1]
The disease has a high risk of death, killing between 50% and
90% of those infected with the virus.[1][3]
EVD was first identified in Sudan (now South Sudan)
and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The disease typically occurs in outbreaks in tropical
regions of sub-Saharan Africa.[1]
From 1976 (when it was first identified) through 2013, the
World Health Organization reported a total of 1,716 cases.[1][4]
The largest outbreak to date is the
ongoing 2014 West Africa Ebola outbreak, which is affecting Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia and
Nigeria.[5][6]
As of 26 August 2014, 3,069 suspected cases resulting in the deaths of 1,552 have
been reported.[7]
Efforts are under way to develop a vaccine; however, none yet exists.[1]

Signs and symptoms
Symptoms of Ebola.[8]
Signs and symptoms of Ebola usually begin suddenly with an influenza-like stage characterized
by fatigue, fever, headaches, joint, muscle and abdominal pain.[9][10]
Vomiting, diarrhea and loss
of appetite are also common.[10]
Less common symptoms include the following: sore throat,
chest pain, hiccups, shortness of breath and trouble swallowing.[10]
The average time between
contracting the infection and the start of symptoms (incubation period) is 8 to 10 days, but it can
vary between 2 and 21 days.[10][11]
Skin manifestations may include a maculopapular rash (in
about 50% of cases).[12]
Early symptoms of EVD may be similar to those of malaria, dengue
fever or other tropical fevers, before the disease progresses to the bleeding phase.[9]
In 40–50% of cases, bleeding from puncture sites and mucous membranes (e.g. gastrointestinal
tract, nose, vagina and gums) has been reported.[13]
In the bleeding phase, which typically starts 5
to 7 days after first symptoms[14]
internal and subcutaneous bleeding may present itself through
reddening of the eyes and bloody vomit.[9]
Bleeding into the skin may create petechiae, purpura,
ecchymoses and hematomas (especially around needle injection sites). Types of bleeding known
to occur with Ebola virus disease include vomiting blood, coughing it up or blood in the stool.
Heavy bleeding is rare and is usually confined to the gastrointestinal tract.[12][15]
In general, the
development of bleeding symptoms often indicates a worse prognosis and this blood loss can
result in death.[9]
All people infected show some symptoms of circulatory system involvement,
including impaired blood clotting.[12]
If the infected person does not recover, death due to
multiple organ dysfunction syndrome occurs within 7 to 16 days (usually between days 8 and 9)
after first symptoms.[14]
Causes
Main articles: Ebolavirus (taxonomic group) and Ebola virus (specific virus)
Life cycles of the Ebolavirus
EVD is caused by four of five viruses classified in the genus Ebolavirus, family Filoviridae,
order Mononegavirales. The four disease-causing viruses are Bundibugyo virus (BDBV), Sudan
virus (SUDV), Taï Forest virus (TAFV), and one called simply, Ebola virus (EBOV, formerly
Zaire Ebola virus)). Ebola virus is the sole member of the Zaire ebolavirus species, and the most
dangerous of the known Ebola disease-causing viruses, as well as being responsible for the
largest number of outbreaks.[16]
The fifth virus, Reston virus (RESTV), is not thought to be
disease-causing in humans. The five Ebola viruses are closely related to the Marburg viruses.
Transmission
Human-to-human transmission can occurs via direct contact with blood or bodily fluids from an
infected person (including embalming of an infected dead person) or by contact with objects
contaminated by the virus, particularly needles and syringes.[17]
The potential for widespread
EVD infections is considered low as the disease is only spread by direct contact with the
secretions from someone who is showing signs of infection.[17]
The symptoms limit a person's
ability to spread the disease as they are often too sick to travel.[18]
Because dead bodies are still
infectious local traditional burial rituals may spread the disease.[19]
Semen may be infectious in
survivors for up to 3 months.[20]
It is not entirely clear how an Ebola outbreak is initially
started.[21]
The initial infection is believed to occur after ebola virus is transmitted to a human by
contact with an infected animal's body fluids.
One of the primary reasons for spread is that the health systems in the part of Africa were the
disease occurs function poorly.[22]
Medical workers who do not wear appropriate protective
clothing may contract the disease.[23]
Hospital-acquired transmission has occurred in African due
to the reuse of needles and lack of universal precautions.[24][25]
Some health care centers caring
for people with the disease do not have running water.[20]
Airborne transmission has not been documented during EVD outbreaks.[2]
They are, however,
infectious as breathable 0.8– to 1.2-μm laboratory-generated droplets.[26]
The virus has been
shown to travel, without contact, from pigs to primates, although the same study failed to
demonstrate similar transmission between non-human primates.[27]
Bats drop partially eaten fruits and pulp, then land mammals such as gorillas and duikers feed on
these fallen fruits. This chain of events forms a possible indirect means of transmission from the
natural host to animal populations, which has led to research towards viral shedding in the saliva
of bats. Fruit production, animal behavior, and other factors vary at different times and places
that may trigger outbreaks among animal populations.[28]
Reservoir
Treatment
A hospital isolation ward in Gulu, Uganda, during the October 2000 outbreak
No ebolavirus-specific treatment exists.[72]
Treatment is primarily supportive in nature.[90]
These
measures may includes: pain management, medications for nausea, fever and anxiety, as well as
fluids by mouth or by intravenous.[90]
Blood products such as packed red blood cells, platelets or
fresh frozen plasma may also be used.[90]
Other regulators of coagulation have also been tried
including heparin in an effort to prevent disseminated intravascular coagulation and clotting
factors to decrease bleeding.[90]
Medication for malaria and bacterial infections have often been
used as initially the diagnosis is usually not clear.[90]
Early treatment may increase the chance of
survival.[91]
A number of experimental treatments are being studied.[92]
In the United States, the FDA's
animal efficacy rule is being used to demonstrate reasonable safety to obtain permission to treat
people who are infected with Ebola. It is being used as the normal path for testing drugs is not
possible for diseases caused by dangerous pathogens or toxins. Experimental drugs are made
available for use with the approval of regulatory agencies under named patient programs, known
in the US as "expanded access".[93]
The FDA has allowed two drugs, ZMapp and an RNA
interference drug called TKM-Ebola, to be used in people infected with Ebola under these
programs during the 2014 outbreak.[94]
2014 outbreak
Main article: 2014 West Africa Ebola virus outbreak
Increase over time in the cases and deaths during the 2014 outbreak
In March 2014, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported a major Ebola outbreak in
Guinea, a western African nation; it is the largest ever documented, and the first recorded in the
region.[109]
Researchers traced the outbreak to a two-year old child who died on 6 December
2013.[110]
On 8 August 2014, the WHO declared the epidemic to be an international public health
emergency. Urging the world to offer aid to the affected regions, the Director-General said,
"Countries affected to date simply do not have the capacity to manage an outbreak of this size
and complexity on their own. I urge the international community to provide this support on the
most urgent basis possible."[111][112]
By mid-August 2014, Doctors Without Borders reported the
situation in Liberia's capital Monrovia as "catastrophic" and "deteriorating daily". They report
that fears of Ebola among staff members and patients has shut down much of the city’s health
system which has resulted in leaving many people without treatment for other conditions.[113]
By
late August 2014, the disease had spread to Nigeria.[114][115]
By 6 September 2014, 4,293 suspected cases including 2,296 deaths had been reported, however
the World Health Organization has said that these numbers may be vastly underestimated.[116]
Additionally the outbreak has resulted in more than 120 healthcare worker deaths partly due to
the lack of equipment and long hours.[117]
On 8 September 2014, WHO warned the number of
new cases in Liberia was increasing exponentially, and would increase by "many thousands" in
the following 3 weeks.[118]
Aside from the human cost, the outbreak has severely eroded the economies of the affected
countries. In August 2014, attempts to contain the outbreak were enacted by placing troops on
roads to cordon off the infected areas and stop those who may be infected from leaving and
further spreading the virus.[119]
By September, with the closure of borders, the cancellation of
airline flights, the evacuation of foreign workers and a collapse of cross-border trade, the
national deficits of Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia were widening to the point where the IMF
was considering expanding its financial support to the 3 countries. The WHO, Médecins Sans
Frontières, and UN health care workers have all critized the travel restrictions saying they are not
justified and are potentially worsening the crisis. [120][121]
A Financial Times report suggested the
economic impact of the outbreak could kill more people than the virus itself.[122]

(MOVIE SYNOPSIS) World War Z Retired U.N. investigator Gerry Lane (Brad Pitt) and his family are sitting in what appears to be a typical Philadelphia traffic jam when helicopters began to circle ominously overhead, and an explosion throws the city into panic. In the blink of an eye, the streets are consumed by chaos. When Gerry learns that the catalyst for the turmoil is a highly contagious virus that transforms those who contract it into rampaging maniacs, and that legions of the infected are growing on all continents, he agrees to join his former colleagues in discovering the source of the rampant plague so that his wife and two daughters will be guaranteed safety aboard a UN fleet in the Atlantic Ocean. Upon tracing a crucial e-mail to a U.S. military base in South Korea, Gerry learns that the infection has spread more rapidly than anyone realizes. Although a subsequent trip to Jerusalem, where the government has constructed a massive wall to keep the public safe, initially offers hope that the growing horde can be kept at bay, an unexpected breach sends Gerry back into the sky in search of patient zero. Just when Gerry thinks he's traced the origins of the virus, however, the unthinkable happens. Subsequently stranded in Cardiff with a fearless Israeli soldier, Gerry quickly makes his way to a World Health Organization outpost where the few remaining scientists have hit a dead end in their search for a cure. But the struggle is far from over, and after recalling an unusual scene witnessed in Jerusalem, Gerry prepares to make a leap of faith that could prevent the downfall of humanity. After an unprecedented series of natural disasters threatened the planet, the world's leaders came together to create an intricate network of satellites to control the global climate and keep everyone safe. But now, something has gone wrong: the system built to protect

    Earth is attackingit, and it becomes a race against the clock to uncover the real threat before a worldwide geostorm wipes out everything and everyone along with it In the near future, when climate-controlling satellites malfunction and release disaster- creating small pods all over the world, Jake Lawson (Gerard Butler) and his other fellow astronauts head into space to prevent the satellites from programming the small pods into creating a storm of epic proportions. The story sees Gerard Butler playing a stubborn but charming satellite designer who, when the world’s climate-controlling satellites malfunction, has to work together with his estranged brother to save the world from a man-made storm of epic proportions. A trip into space follows, while on Earth a plot to assassinate the president begins to unfold.

ICD-10 A98.4 ICD-9 065.8 DiseasesDB 18043 MedlinePlus 001339 eMedicine med/626 MeSH D019142 Ebola virus disease (EVD), Ebola hemorrhagic fever (EHF), or simply Ebola is a disease of humans and other primates caused by an ebolavirus. Symptoms start two days to three weeks after contracting the virus, with a fever, sore throat, muscle pain and headaches. Typically, vomiting, diarrhea and rash follow, along with decreased functioning of the liver and kidneys. Around this time, affected people may begin to bleed both within the body and externally.[1] The virus may be acquired upon contact with blood or bodily fluids of an infected animal.[1] Spreading through the air has not been documented in the natural environment.[2] Fruit bats are believed to carry and spread the virus without being affected. Once human infection occurs, the disease may spread between people, as well. Male survivors may be able to transmit the disease via semen for nearly two months. To make the diagnosis, typically other diseases with similar symptoms such as malaria, cholera and other viral hemorrhagic fevers are first excluded. To confirm the diagnosis, blood samples are tested for viral antibodies, viral RNA, or the virus itself.[1] Prevention includes decreasing the spread of disease from infected animals to humans. This may be done by checking such animals for infection and killing and properly disposing of the bodies if the disease is discovered. Properly cooking meat and wearing protective clothing when handling meat may also be helpful, as are wearing protective clothing and washing hands when around a person with the disease. Samples of bodily fluids and tissues from people with the disease should be handled with special caution.[1]

    No specific treatmentfor the disease is yet available.[1] Efforts to help those who are infected are supportive and include giving either oral rehydration therapy (slightly sweet and salty water to drink) or intravenous fluids.[1] The disease has a high risk of death, killing between 50% and 90% of those infected with the virus.[1][3] EVD was first identified in Sudan (now South Sudan) and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The disease typically occurs in outbreaks in tropical regions of sub-Saharan Africa.[1] From 1976 (when it was first identified) through 2013, the World Health Organization reported a total of 1,716 cases.[1][4] The largest outbreak to date is the ongoing 2014 West Africa Ebola outbreak, which is affecting Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia and Nigeria.[5][6] As of 26 August 2014, 3,069 suspected cases resulting in the deaths of 1,552 have been reported.[7] Efforts are under way to develop a vaccine; however, none yet exists.[1] Contents  1Signs and symptoms  2Causes o 2.1Transmission o 2.2Reservoir o 2.3Virology  3Pathophysiology  4Diagnosis o 4.1Classification o 4.2Differential diagnosis  5Prevention o 5.1Infection control and containment o 5.2Quarantine o 5.3Vaccine o 5.4Laboratory  6Treatment  7Prognosis  8Epidemiology o 8.11976 o 8.21995 to 2013 o 8.32014 outbreak  9History  10Society and culture o 10.1Literature  11Other animals o 11.1Wild animals o 11.2Domesticated animals  12Research o 12.1Medications and vaccines o 12.2Blood transfusion  13See also  14References  15External links Signs and symptoms

    Symptoms of Ebola.[8] Signsand symptoms of Ebola usually begin suddenly with an influenza-like stage characterized by fatigue, fever, headaches, joint, muscle and abdominal pain.[9][10] Vomiting, diarrhea and loss of appetite are also common.[10] Less common symptoms include the following: sore throat, chest pain, hiccups, shortness of breath and trouble swallowing.[10] The average time between contracting the infection and the start of symptoms (incubation period) is 8 to 10 days, but it can vary between 2 and 21 days.[10][11] Skin manifestations may include a maculopapular rash (in about 50% of cases).[12] Early symptoms of EVD may be similar to those of malaria, dengue fever or other tropical fevers, before the disease progresses to the bleeding phase.[9] In 40–50% of cases, bleeding from puncture sites and mucous membranes (e.g. gastrointestinal tract, nose, vagina and gums) has been reported.[13] In the bleeding phase, which typically starts 5 to 7 days after first symptoms[14] internal and subcutaneous bleeding may present itself through reddening of the eyes and bloody vomit.[9] Bleeding into the skin may create petechiae, purpura, ecchymoses and hematomas (especially around needle injection sites). Types of bleeding known to occur with Ebola virus disease include vomiting blood, coughing it up or blood in the stool. Heavy bleeding is rare and is usually confined to the gastrointestinal tract.[12][15] In general, the development of bleeding symptoms often indicates a worse prognosis and this blood loss can result in death.[9] All people infected show some symptoms of circulatory system involvement, including impaired blood clotting.[12] If the infected person does not recover, death due to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome occurs within 7 to 16 days (usually between days 8 and 9) after first symptoms.[14] Causes Main articles: Ebolavirus (taxonomic group) and Ebola virus (specific virus) Life cycles of the Ebolavirus EVD is caused by four of five viruses classified in the genus Ebolavirus, family Filoviridae, order Mononegavirales. The four disease-causing viruses are Bundibugyo virus (BDBV), Sudan virus (SUDV), Taï Forest virus (TAFV), and one called simply, Ebola virus (EBOV, formerly Zaire Ebola virus)). Ebola virus is the sole member of the Zaire ebolavirus species, and the most dangerous of the known Ebola disease-causing viruses, as well as being responsible for the largest number of outbreaks.[16] The fifth virus, Reston virus (RESTV), is not thought to be disease-causing in humans. The five Ebola viruses are closely related to the Marburg viruses. Transmission Human-to-human transmission can occurs via direct contact with blood or bodily fluids from an infected person (including embalming of an infected dead person) or by contact with objects contaminated by the virus, particularly needles and syringes.[17] The potential for widespread EVD infections is considered low as the disease is only spread by direct contact with the secretions from someone who is showing signs of infection.[17] The symptoms limit a person's ability to spread the disease as they are often too sick to travel.[18] Because dead bodies are still infectious local traditional burial rituals may spread the disease.[19] Semen may be infectious in survivors for up to 3 months.[20] It is not entirely clear how an Ebola outbreak is initially

    started.[21] The initial infectionis believed to occur after ebola virus is transmitted to a human by contact with an infected animal's body fluids. One of the primary reasons for spread is that the health systems in the part of Africa were the disease occurs function poorly.[22] Medical workers who do not wear appropriate protective clothing may contract the disease.[23] Hospital-acquired transmission has occurred in African due to the reuse of needles and lack of universal precautions.[24][25] Some health care centers caring for people with the disease do not have running water.[20] Airborne transmission has not been documented during EVD outbreaks.[2] They are, however, infectious as breathable 0.8– to 1.2-μm laboratory-generated droplets.[26] The virus has been shown to travel, without contact, from pigs to primates, although the same study failed to demonstrate similar transmission between non-human primates.[27] Bats drop partially eaten fruits and pulp, then land mammals such as gorillas and duikers feed on these fallen fruits. This chain of events forms a possible indirect means of transmission from the natural host to animal populations, which has led to research towards viral shedding in the saliva of bats. Fruit production, animal behavior, and other factors vary at different times and places that may trigger outbreaks among animal populations.[28] Reservoir Treatment A hospital isolation ward in Gulu, Uganda, during the October 2000 outbreak No ebolavirus-specific treatment exists.[72] Treatment is primarily supportive in nature.[90] These measures may includes: pain management, medications for nausea, fever and anxiety, as well as fluids by mouth or by intravenous.[90] Blood products such as packed red blood cells, platelets or fresh frozen plasma may also be used.[90] Other regulators of coagulation have also been tried including heparin in an effort to prevent disseminated intravascular coagulation and clotting factors to decrease bleeding.[90] Medication for malaria and bacterial infections have often been used as initially the diagnosis is usually not clear.[90] Early treatment may increase the chance of survival.[91] A number of experimental treatments are being studied.[92] In the United States, the FDA's animal efficacy rule is being used to demonstrate reasonable safety to obtain permission to treat people who are infected with Ebola. It is being used as the normal path for testing drugs is not possible for diseases caused by dangerous pathogens or toxins. Experimental drugs are made available for use with the approval of regulatory agencies under named patient programs, known in the US as "expanded access".[93] The FDA has allowed two drugs, ZMapp and an RNA interference drug called TKM-Ebola, to be used in people infected with Ebola under these programs during the 2014 outbreak.[94] 2014 outbreak Main article: 2014 West Africa Ebola virus outbreak

    Increase over timein the cases and deaths during the 2014 outbreak In March 2014, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported a major Ebola outbreak in Guinea, a western African nation; it is the largest ever documented, and the first recorded in the region.[109] Researchers traced the outbreak to a two-year old child who died on 6 December 2013.[110] On 8 August 2014, the WHO declared the epidemic to be an international public health emergency. Urging the world to offer aid to the affected regions, the Director-General said, "Countries affected to date simply do not have the capacity to manage an outbreak of this size and complexity on their own. I urge the international community to provide this support on the most urgent basis possible."[111][112] By mid-August 2014, Doctors Without Borders reported the situation in Liberia's capital Monrovia as "catastrophic" and "deteriorating daily". They report that fears of Ebola among staff members and patients has shut down much of the city’s health system which has resulted in leaving many people without treatment for other conditions.[113] By late August 2014, the disease had spread to Nigeria.[114][115] By 6 September 2014, 4,293 suspected cases including 2,296 deaths had been reported, however the World Health Organization has said that these numbers may be vastly underestimated.[116] Additionally the outbreak has resulted in more than 120 healthcare worker deaths partly due to the lack of equipment and long hours.[117] On 8 September 2014, WHO warned the number of new cases in Liberia was increasing exponentially, and would increase by "many thousands" in the following 3 weeks.[118] Aside from the human cost, the outbreak has severely eroded the economies of the affected countries. In August 2014, attempts to contain the outbreak were enacted by placing troops on roads to cordon off the infected areas and stop those who may be infected from leaving and further spreading the virus.[119] By September, with the closure of borders, the cancellation of airline flights, the evacuation of foreign workers and a collapse of cross-border trade, the national deficits of Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia were widening to the point where the IMF was considering expanding its financial support to the 3 countries. The WHO, Médecins Sans Frontières, and UN health care workers have all critized the travel restrictions saying they are not justified and are potentially worsening the crisis. [120][121] A Financial Times report suggested the economic impact of the outbreak could kill more people than the virus itself.[122]
