Various non-human primates are commonly susceptible, and infection can be caused by intestinal, non-gastrointestinal or intranasal routes. The blood contains the virus from 1 to 4 days after the onset of the disease until death. Guinea pigs, hamsters, and suckling mice are more susceptible, and infection can be caused by inoculation by the intraperitoneal, intravenous, intradermal, or intranasal routes. Adult mice and chicken embryos are not susceptible. The human population is universally susceptible, regardless of age and sex. High-risk populations include those in close contact with patients with Ebola hemorrhagic fever, infected animals such as medical personnel, laboratory personnel, and workers at the site of an Ebola epidemic. Ebola virus can be transmitted through direct contact with the patient’s body fluids, or through contact with the patient’s skin and mucous membranes. The incubation period of the virus can be from 2 to 21 days, but usually only 5 to 10 days. This major outbreak of Ebola in West Africa in 2014 was partly related to the local traditional farewell ritual of touching and kissing the sick deceased. Although airborne transmission between monkeys has been demonstrated in the laboratory, K cannot prove that people can transmit to each other through the air. Until now, most of the Ebola epidemics were due to the hospital environment, where poor public hygiene, disposable needles everywhere, and lack of negative pressure wards posed a great threat to health care workers. Because of better equipment and hygiene, it is almost impossible to have a large outbreak of Ebola in a modern hospital. In the early stages of the disease, Ebola may not be highly contagious. Contact with a patient during this period may not even result in infection. As the disease progresses, the patient’s body fluids from diarrhea, vomiting and bleeding will be highly biohazardous. Due to the lack of proper medical equipment and training of physicians, large epidemics often occur in poor areas without modern hospitals and trained medical personnel. Many of the areas where the source of infection is present have exactly these characteristics. In endemic areas, avoid contact with or consumption of wild animals such as fruit bats and apes. Avoid direct contact with blood, secretions, organs, semen or potentially contaminated environments of infected persons or their corpses. Strengthen the disinfection of the environment. To control the spread of Ebola, first of all, we should pay close attention to the world’s Ebola virus epidemic situation, strengthen the quarantine at the national border, suspend the import of monkeys and restrict monkeys from infected areas. Suspected patients with bleeding symptoms should be isolated for observation. Once diagnosed should be promptly reported to the health department, the strictest isolation of patients, that is, the use of isolation equipment with air filtration devices. Medical and laboratory personnel should wear isolation suits, and space suits for testing operations when possible to prevent accidents, use disposable masks, gloves, goggles and protective clothing, and implement infection control measures. Sharing of needles is prohibited, and needles cannot be reused without strict disinfection. Close observation should also be performed on those in close contact with the patient.
