	Ebola virus hemorrhagic fever Ebola hemorrhagic fever
	cause of a disease The Ebola virus belongs to the Filoviridae families. Note : refer to the site of WHO
	Ebola Haemorrhagic Fever(EHF) is sick one of the most poisonous viruses known by the thing to cause the human race the death at the rate of 50-90% in a case sick on clinical with the origin in the jungle of Africa and Asia. A virus all Filoviridae families rapidly is caused a large amount of hemorrhage, dies, and arrives at inside the body when it is infected.

clinical

The incubation period is 2-21, and [it] breaks out the appearance of disease on six days because of one week in average pincushion. Heat is generated, [it] has loose bowels to an initial symptom next because of headache, the whole body boredom feeling, the muscle pain, the pain in the joint, and the pain in the pharynx, and the pain in the belly chest continues. The skin eruption goes out to transitory occasionally. Other pharynx flame, the conjunctiva flame, jaundice, and the edema are seen. Three days after the appearance of disease, the hemorrhage tendency is seen. The digestive tube hemorrhage and the vomit appear following the hemorrhage and executive hemorrhage. Hemorrhage is seen by 90% or more of the death example. As for infection from the homo to the homo, aerial infection is personally negative because of contact with blood, the body fluid, and excrement, etc.

prevention and treatment

Prevention : The patient who seems to be infected isolates, explains details of this virus to all staff of the hospital, and there is a necessity for giving strict attention. The situation to be able to take the confirmation of the work end on the inside sealed up complete is made to secure the artery line, and to be made for treatment with a high risk of operation of the catheter which is bloody, the secretion, and used and the suck device for the patient. The thing for individual to have the dressing gown, gloves, and the mask, etc. is hoped for to the hospital staff. All the apparatuses used must not be used again as long as not disinfected. Moreover, the patient where this virus died in the origin buries at once or there is a cremated necessity.

Treatment : Treatment of using together with the action treatment being developed for the vaccine thought to be effective will be hoped for in the future.

distribution and epidemiology

Fixation has not been done yet though the concealment of the virus and the origin of generation are called tropical forests.
Hypothesis 1---Landlords of the virus are animals (Mastomys) of wild rodents like the Lassa heat. This is a hypothesis set up from no death of the rat with which the experiment is infected by Ebola.
Hypothesis 2---The role of causing of the plant virus vertebrate's infection, and the maintenance of these infection mammals of the virus in a tropical woods might be played.

A lot of apes died from Philippines to the United States in the imported ape in 1989. And, four men or more : with those any. It is infected though [it] has, clinical contact was not received etc. It is Cote in the research of large-scale ecology for Ebola virus which has left a lot of still mysteries. [It] is progressing by Ivoire, Gabon, and d 'Democratic Republic of the Congo now.
