Abstract

EVD or Ebola viral disease is a deadly haemorrhagic disease spread by Ebola virus and was commonly found in the African province. This review article is an attempt to gather information on Ebola by highlighting pathogenesis, transmission, symptoms of the disease and other factors from various sources and compile it. Human and nonprimates are commonly affected by this virus and the main carrier of this virus is the fruit bat. It is spread from one person to another by contact with body fluids, blood and tissues of animals. During outbreak the virus spreads quickly within healthcare such as clinicians and other personnel They contain single stranded RNA genomes and contains seven genes. Virus remains in the body of immunologically advantaged sites and these sites are the ones where they survive even after it is cleared from other place in the body, like testes, placenta, CNS especially CSF, interior of eyes etc. Virus evade the immune system by inhibiting the early steps of neutrophil activation Drugs are being developed to treat EVD work by stopping the virus from making copies of itself. Survivors suffer from health issues after recovery from Ebola.
