What you need to know:
- Ebola damages blood vessels and causes severe, internal bleeding
- It extends from animals to humans, and among humans, through close contact with other physical fluids from blood, organs, secretions and people infected with other physical fluids
- Some forms of Ebola can be prevented with vaccines and treated with drugs
Ebola is a ongoing challenge for people and officials in affected areas. Vaccine can help reduce development burden.
Most often, Ebola’s outbreak is caused by the Zaire type of Ebola virus (Zaire ibolevirus) And Sudan type (Sudan ibolevirus,
During the most recent outbreaks, what has been the highest number of infected people, researchers have used these live positions to test vaccines in development.
What is the most serious Ebola outbreak of bees?
Four decades after the disease became the original, the biggest Ebola outbreak occurred.
Between 2014 and 2016, Ebola spread to the West of the continent from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leon in Central Africa. There were over 28,600 infections, and 10,000 deaths.
From 2018 to 2020, Ebola again spread from DRC to Uganda. For further outbreaks in Gabon, South Africa, Kota de Evoire, Nigeria, Mali and Senegal, the list has been murdered in the list of 2,000 people.
What is the difference between Ebola virus and Sudan virus?
Ebola was discovered near the Ebola River, in 1976 during two outbreaks – Zaire, now in DRC and South Sudan.
Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) – In the name of the river – the most deadly form of the virus. It has 10% of cases of survival rate.
Sudan virus disease (SVD) causes death in about 50% of cases.
The third most common version in Africa is the Bundibugyo virus and was discovered in 2007.
Symptoms are the same: fever, nausea, weakness, loss of appetite and unexplained bleeding. Chest pain can occur with SVD, but low with EVD.
How is Ebola virus treated?
If caught early, hospital treatment, oral and intravenous with fluids and medications, can help reduce and reduce the risk of malignant.
An ibanga-to-antibody-base drug is the drug that prevents the virus from entering the cells, thus slowing its spread through the body.
Another drug is Inmadb – a cocktail of three antibodies.
In both cases, patients should avoid using live virus vaccines at the same time.
The World Health Organization (WHO) advises against the treatment of people at home, especially without professional healthcare. The virus is highly contagious and other people at home are likely to get sick.
Other treatments included blood transfusion, drugs to treat symptoms – pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea – or co -existent diseases, search as malaria.
Are there vaccines against Ebola?
Erwaybo has been approved for use in the US and the European Union.
It can be used to protect adults and children from EVDs. Regulations are different, however – Arwebo is approved for use in Europe from the age of one, while the US has approved it for people aged only 18 and above.
Drug and vaccine approval by Peak US and European agencies (FDA and EMA, respectively) are considered a global standard, so Erweebo can be used in Africa.
Therefore, it is necessary for people coming to the area affected by Ebola before traveling before traveling.
What is Arwebo?
ERVEBO is a live-posted dutted vaccine.
This means that it contains a weak protein from EVD, which is not strong enough to cause a complete infection, but it is only enough to trigger a immune response.
Then, if the vaccination person ever encounters real viruses, the body knows how to react and defend against the viral attack.
In February 2025, the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative, Ministry of Health of Uganda, Mekerere University and WHO in Kampala began a test for a candidate vaccine against SVD.
This was the first test to be conducted during a living outbreak – the sixth outbreak of Sudan type virus of Uganda.
The Sudan vaccine is similarly designed for Erwaybo. It is called one of the most promising type of vaccine against Ebola and other so -called filovirus, including Marburg.
