Ebola virus disease (EVD) or Ebola hemorrhagic fever (EHF) is a human disease caused by the Ebola virus. Symptoms usually begin two days to three weeks after contracting the virus, the presence of fever, sore throat, muscle aches, and headache. Usually followed by nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, as well as liver and kidney function decline. At that time, some people began experiencing bleeding problems.

Causes and diagnosis.

The virus may be obtained through contact with blood or body fluids of an infected animal (usually a monkey or bat). The spread through the air has never been recorded in the natural environment. Fruit bats are believed to be able to carry and spread the virus without contracting. Once an infection in humans, the disease can spread to people. Men who survived the disease can spread through sperm for nearly two months. To make a diagnosis, usually other diseases with similar symptoms, such as malaria, cholera and other viral hemorrhagic fever should be excluded first. To confirm the diagnosis, blood samples were tested for viral antibodies, RNA virus, or the virus itself.

Prevention.

Prevention includes efforts to reduce the spread of disease from infected monkeys and pigs to humans. This can be done by checking the animals against infection, as well as kill and dispose of animals with true if the disease is found. Cooking meat properly and wear protective clothing when meat processing may also be useful, as well as wearing protective clothing and wash hands when around people who suffer from the disease. Samples of fluid and tissue of patients with the disease should be treated with extreme caution.
There is no specific treatment for this disease, efforts to help those affected include the provision of oral rehydration therapy (water that is slightly sweet and salty to drink) or intravenous fluids. This disease has a high mortality rate: often killed between 50% to 90% of people infected with the virus. EVD was first identified in Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The disease is usually endemic in tropical regions of Sub-Saharan Africa. Since 1976 (when it was first identified) until 2013, less than 1,000 people per year have been infected. Largest outbreak to date is the 2014 Ebola outbreak of West Africa is going on, and struck Guyana, Sierra Leone, Liberia and Nigeria possibilities. As of August 2014, more than 1600 cases have been identified. Efforts are underway to develop a vaccine, but have not produced results.

Deadly Ebola virus:

A scourge of the deadly Ebola virus's citizens. The virus is highly lethal and until now there is no medicine that can cure it. Even the doctors and nurses had to use extra protection for clothing and all medical devices that are not contracted Ebola victims. The virus is spread in Africa. Whether to go to Indonesia? No one knows. However, the government has issued a travel warning for pilgrims and also people who will be traveling to Africa and Arabia.

Definition and History of Ebola virus.

Definition of Ebola virus is one type of virus derived from genes Ebolavirus and including the family of Filoviridae. Also known by EBV and EBOV. Based on data from the WHO UN news more than 1600 people living in countries of Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone have been infected with the outbreak. More than half of the patients with this disease die and the opportunity to recover until today only 0%.

History of the Ebola virus was first discovered searches in 1976. Allegedly the victim died from eating meat infected with a gorilla. However, this hypothesis is not proven by the refutation should apes and gorillas more dead. Then, scientists stated that the cause is the bats based research 276 bats were captured in Bangladesh.

Distribution patterns are apes and humans eat the fruit that had been exposed to saliva bat or even just a touch of fruit and objects that already exist bat saliva.

The characteristics of Ebola virus.

Until now there are 4 types of viruses. That attack humans there are 3 that Ebola Zaire, Ivory Coast and Sudan. While one other type only transmitted to primates, namely Ebola Reston. Characteristics and shape can be seen in the picture below.

Cause and Transmission of Ebola virus.

The process of transmission, causing the victim to suffer the Ebola virus is very simple.

Just simply by physical contact. Good contact with sweat, saliva, and other bodily fluids.
By touching and or eat fruit that has been touched by the victim.
Myth in infected countries, just say the word then it could be infected with Ebola.

But there is no evidence that this virus is able to transmit through the air media such as influenza. The most at risk are first neighbors, friends, relatives, families of victims. Both the medical personnel treating patients.

Patients with symptoms of Ebola virus.

The initial symptoms are suffered dizziness, pain, fever. Next comes a rash on her body and then followed by diarrhea and vomiting as usual. This process occurs for 8 to 10 days. The next critical phase is half the patients experienced vomiting blood urine or blood.

Why ebola can be deadly?

The culmination of a series of symptoms above ebola virus are blood vessels secrete many body fluids. The effect of blood pressure dropped dramatically so that all vital organs such as heart, liver, kidney, brain stops working.
