Explanation / Answer

Ebola is a rare but deadly virus that causes bleeding inside and outside the body.This virus damages the immune system and organs and led to drop in the level of blood clotting cells which results in severe uncontrollable bleeding.

The ebola virus is not waterborne or airborne.This spreads to people by contact with the skin or bodily fluids of an infected animal.Then it moves to person to person the same way.The incubation period(time from exposure to infection or apparent symptoms) is 2-21 days,but 8-10 days is most common.Currently there is no cure for this .

.Symptoms for Ebola are fever,headache,diarrhea,vomiting,stomach pain,lack of appetite,difficulty in breathing and swallowing,external and internal bleeding.

Ebola virus is treated by balancing the patients fluid and electrolyte,maintaing their oxygen status and blood pressure.

In 1995 ebola outbreak in Zaire results in 315 cases and 254 deaths.The biggest outbreak of Ebola to date is the 2014 West africa outbreak,there were 13,042 reported cases resulting in 4,818 deaths.This outbreak was mainly centerd in Guinea,Sierra Leone and liberia.However because of ongoing surveillance and strenthened response capacities,the affected countries had the experience and tools to rapidly identify any additional cases and to limit transmission.In both the cases it results in casulties The outbreak zone were remote.

Definately location play a important role in the progression of the disease.Thise outbreak occured in remote areas which are far away from main cities,As long as hygienic conditions remain substandard in many African hospitals and health care workers are unable to adhere to universal precautions to prevent transmission of bloodborne infection,there will be a continuous risk for new outbreaks in African countries.With stricter surveillance systems,any new outbreaks will be diagnosed at much earlier stage.
