Also known as Ebola virus of the genus Fiboviridae, it is a virulent infectious virus that causes hemorrhagic fever in humans and animals, with a high mortality rate, between 50% and 90%, and causes of death mainly stroke, heart attack, shock or multi-organ failure. It includes nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, skin color changes, generalized aches and pains, internal bleeding, external bleeding, and fever. Ebola is mainly transmitted through the patient’s blood, saliva, sweat and secretions. The incubation period of infection is about 2 days to 21 days. All infected people suddenly develop high fever, headache, sore throat, weakness and muscle pain. This is followed by vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Within two weeks of the onset of the disease, the virus spills out, causing internal and external bleeding and necrotic blood to spread quickly to all organs of the body, and the patient eventually develops symptoms such as bleeding from the mouth, nose and anus, and the patient can die within 24 hours. Infectious sensitive animals various non-human primates are generally susceptible, through the intestinal, non-gastrointestinal or intranasal route can cause infection, infection 2 to 5 days after the emergence of high fever, 6 to 9 days to die. The blood contains the virus from 1 to 4 days after the onset of the disease until death. The population is universally susceptible, regardless of age and sex. High-risk groups include patients with Ebola hemorrhagic fever, people in close contact with infected animals such as medical personnel, inspectors, and workers at the site of an Ebola epidemic. Methods of transmission The virus can be transmitted through direct contact with the patient’s body fluids, or through contact with the patient’s skin or mucous membranes. The incubation period of the virus can range from 2 to 21 days, but is usually only 5 to 10 days. Experts have found in their research that the Ebola virus is heat resistant, but will be killed in 60 minutes at 60 degrees Celsius. The virus mainly exists in the patient’s body fluids, blood, so the patient’s used syringes, needles, various puncture needles, cannulae, etc., should be thoroughly disinfected, the most reliable is to use high-pressure steam disinfection. Ebola virus may also be airborne.
