Ebola (EVD) is a deadly, infectious disease, spread by the Ebola virus. A recent outbreak in West Africa has claimed thousands of lives as the diseases remains incurable (as at 2014). The disease is known by any of the names: Ebola virus disease (EVD), Ebola haemorrhagic fever (EHF) or simply Ebola. Ebola mainly affects humans and other primates.
The symptoms, which start two days to three weeks after contracting the virus, include: fever, sore throat, muscle pain and headaches. These are typically followed by: vomiting, diarrhoea and body rash. All these culminate in decreased function of the liver and kidneys. External and/ or internal bleeding is another visible symptom of this deadly disease.
Quite a horrible list.
