Abstract

Ebola viruses are endemic in parts of central Africa and are the primary cause of Ebola hemorrhagic fever, a severe form of viral hemorrhagic fever in humans. The Reston Ebola virus, which is present in the Philippines and hasn't been linked to any human illnesses, is an exception. The Ebola virus poses a serious threat to local public health in Africa, and because it can be imported and there is concern that it could be used for biological terrorism, it also has an impact on the rest of the world. The African great ape population is believed to suffer negative effects from the Ebola virus. Immune suppression and a systemic inflammatory response are features of Ebola virus infections.

Keywords: Ebola viruses, hemorrhagic fever, human illnesses, Immune suppression, Zaire ebolavirus.
