Do people know what Ebola is? Ebola is a disease that has caused many people to die through the spread of the virus. According to WHO (World Health Organization), "Ebola is an infection caused by the Ebola virus. It commonly called Ebola Virus Disease (EVD), EVD first appears in 1976 in South Sudan, Yambuku, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Shortly after the EVD occurred in Ebola river area, from which the disease takes its name. During the outbreak of EVD, the biggest disaster was found 2014-2016 in West Africa. It was the largest EVD outbreaks since the virus first discovered in 1976.
There are three clans of Filoviridae of the virus, which are Ebolavirus, Cuevavirus, and Marburgvirus. Ebolavirus is the virus that caused many cases of death that exists in West Africa".
Looking at the dangerous of EVD, people need to know how EVD transmitted into a human body and some problem on it.
The EVD spreads through direct the human body such as scars, damaged skin, eye membranes, nose or mouth. If the virus spreads from person to person, it will be affecting a large number of people. Based on CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), "Blood or body fluids (urine, saliva, sweat, feces, vomit, breast milk, and semen) of a person who is sick with or has died from EVD" (p.1) is one of the ways EVD is contagious.
who is infected through blood or body fluids usually a person who lives in the same house with an Ebola sufferer. In some cases, the mother will deliberately breastfeed her child without knowing that she has EVD in their body. Surely the EVD will be transmitted to the child body.
Besides that, the recipient of the blood transfusion from Ebola sufferer, they will directly be contracting with the virus. These two examples are some of the reasons of how the Ebola virus spread through a human body.
Ebola also can be transmitted through objects around the environment. Most people share their stuff with Ebola sufferer, so they will be infected if they used in the unclean condition.
According to CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), "Ebola spread through objects contaminated with body fluids from the person who has EVD or died from EVD"(p.1) is one of the ways EVD transmitted into a human body. Most people who live with Ebola sufferer, they will use the same object like plate and spoon as the Ebola sufferer.
Although having been washed, those eating utensils sometimes still contain the germ (EVD) from the previous eating activity. Health-workers also can be infected by EVD while they are threatening the patients.
