"Ebola" the worst virus from Africa

People say that Ebola has been worst virus from Africa, the first sprout began in Yambuku north Zaire in 1976 where
318 people are infected and 280 people dead.
This disease starts with symptoms like fever, cefalea, and general discomfort, also red blood cells are less as well as
the platelet leaving the sick without defenses.

The populations more affected for this virus are remote villages in central Africa and west Africa, the virus
transmition is of animals to humans, the studies indicate that natural hosts are bats. The mortality rate of this virus
is of 90%, actually don't exist a vaccine for of virus of treatment for humans or animals.
Today we have us in the study to Doctor Camilo Cano who to tell us any characteristics, causes, symptomps,
prevention, and famous cases about the virus Ebola.
Good morning Dr. Camilo, we understand that you are an expert in virology, and you have known cases of Ebola
closely and we want some dates about of dangerous virus. Who is Ebola virus spread?
The first symptoms of Ebola are a sudden increase in body temperature, accompanied by strong headaches, joint
and muscle pain. Decreased appetite and sore throat are also early indicators of the disease.
One of the first tissues the virus settles in is collagen. Collagen keeps the bodys organs in place, like an organic
glue. Ebola eats away at collagen, causing all kinds of problems. The patients upper layer of skin ends up floating on
a layer of liquefied tissue, resulting in tiny white blisters and red spots on the surface that can tear off with just a
small amount of pressure. Rips in the skin can appear and spontaneous bleeding can occur from several orifices,
including the eyes, nose and mouth.
Blood or body fluids (including but not limited to urine, saliva, sweat, feces, vomit, breast milk, and semen) of a
person who is sick with or has died from Ebola, objects (like needles and syringes) that have been contaminated with
body fluids from a person who is sick with Ebola or the body of a person who has died from Ebola, infected fruit bats
or primates (apes and monkeys), and possibly from contact with semen from a man who has recovered from Ebola
(for example, by having oral, vaginal, or anal sex)

Which are the symptoms?

Fever, Severe headache, Muscle pain, Weakness, Fatigue, Diarrhea, Vomiting, Abdominal, (stomach) pain,
Unexplained hemorrhage (bleeding or bruising).
Symptoms may appear anywhere from 2 to 21 days after exposure to Ebola, but the average is 8 to 10 days.

Recovery from Ebola depends on good supportive clinical care and the patients immune response. People who
recover from Ebola infection develop antibodies that last for at least 10 years.Is it
Possible to prevent getting the virus?
Many Ebola vaccine candidates had been developed in the decade prior to 2014, but as of October 2014, none had
yet been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for clinical use in humans. Inactivated
Ebola virus vaccines were shown to not promote an adequate immune response to the real pathogen. Several
promising vaccine candidates that integrate viral subunits have been shown to protect nonhuman primates (usually
macaques) against lethal infection.
Practice careful hygiene. For example, wash your hands with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer and
avoid contact with blood and body fluids (such as urine, feces, saliva, sweat, urine, vomit, breast milk, semen, and
vaginal fluids).
Do not handle items that may have come in contact with an infected persons blood or body fluids (such as clothes,
bedding, needles, and medical equipment).
Avoid funeral or burial rituals that require handling the body of someone who has died from Ebola.
Avoid contact with bats and nonhuman primates or blood, fluids, and raw meat prepared from these animals.
Avoid facilities in West Africa where Ebola patients are being treated. The U.S. embassy or consulate is often able to
provide advice on facilities.
After you return, monitor your health for 21 days and seek medical care immediately if you develop symptoms of
Ebola.
Thank you Doctor Camilo for your time and your knowledge, you have been of much help, And we see you in one
next occasions for speak of other mortal virus.
