Ebola

A dangerous infectious disease with a high fatality rate
Ebola virus is the common name for five species of the genus Ebolavirus within the Filoviridae family. The virus was named after the Ebola River in Africa, where it was first isolated in 1976. Patients with Ebola experience hemorrhagic fever. The disease is characterized by a high fatality rate—up to 90%. The pathogen is transmitted through direct contact with the blood or secretions of an infected person or animal. Fruit bats are considered the natural reservoir of the virus. The largest outbreak of the infection occurred in 2014–2016 in West Africa.
