- Ebola virus is one of
three genera of family Filoviridae (filovirus). The other two are Marburgvirus
and Cuevavirus. There are five species of ebolaviruses including:
+ Zaire ebolavirus (EBOV)
+ Sudan ebolavirus (SUDV)
+ Bundibugyo ebolavirus
(BDBV)
+ Taï Forest ebolavirus
(TAFV).
+ Reston ebolavirus
(RESTV)
BDBV, EBOV, and SUDV have
caused major epidemics in Africa, while RESTV and TAFV have never caused any
epidemic.
- Targets of infection:
+ Hunters and people who
live in the forest and come into contact with infected or infected dead animals
(chimpanzees, apes, monkeys, antelopes, porcupines, fruit bats, etc.)

Creatinine and urea in blood may increase while the disease develops
- Coagulation: disseminated
intravascular coagulation
- Urine test: proteinuria
- Test for causes:
looking for antigens, antibodies, PCR, and virus culture Samples used for
testing are blood that are preserved during transport medium and conformable
with regulations on transport of blood-borne viruses.
