The Deadly Ebola Virus :: Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever (Ebola HF)

The only sound is a choking in his throat as he continues to vomit while unconscious. Then decreases a sound like a bed sheet being part in half, which is the sound of his bowels opening at the sphincter and venting melodic phrase. The blood is mixed with his intestinal lining. He has sloughed off his gut. The lining of his intestines have come off and are being expelled along with huge amounts of blood (Preston 17).Ebola haemorrhagic fever is probably the most publicized virus since AIDS. And for a untroubled reason too. People crashing out, vomiting their organs, bleeding tout ensemble over the place, it for sure catches ones attention. Richard Prestons The Hot Zone, Robin Cooks Outbreak and miscellaneous exposs on idiot box have alerted the public to what was once considered a minor problem. Ebola is extremely suicidal and much study is being devoted to it so it does not sound a major threat to the human race. Ebola is one of the most morbific viruses known to science, causing death in 50%- 90% of all clinically ill cases. It is known for its sudden onset of fever, weakness, muscle pain, annoying and sore throat that is followed by vomiting, diarrhea, organ disfunction and internal and outside(a) bleeding. It can be in the body 2 to 21 age before any symptoms can be noticed. There is no vaccinum and scientists do not know where it originated. Ebola is transmitted by contact with blood, secretions, organs or semen of infected persons. It was first set in Sudan and congou in 1976 (World 1996).There are four known varieties of Ebola Ebola congou, Ebola Sudan, Ebola Reston and Ebola Tai. Zaire, Sudan and Tai move illness in humans and primates unlike Reston that affects primates only. What makes them distinct from each other is not their shape, for that is quite similar, but their gene structure.Ebola Zaire and Ebola Sudan were first isolated in 1976 at the Center for Disease influence (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia, Porton Down in England and the Institute for Tropical Diseases in Antwerp, Belgium. geezerhood later, Ebola Zaire and Ebola Sudan were found to be different strains by Dr. Joseph McCormick of the CDC. In 1989, Dr. scratch Jahrling of the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) identified the Reston strain. Ebola Tai was identified in 1995 by Dr. Bernard LeGuenno of Institute Pasteur in Paris.
