Ebola virus disease(EVD) orEbola hemorrhagic fever(EHF) is the human disease caused by the Ebola virus. Symptoms typically start two days to three weeks after contracting the virus, with a fever, throat and muscle pains, and headaches. Typically nausea, vomiting, and diarrheafollow, along with decreased functioning of the liverand kidneys. At this point, some people begin to have problems with bleeding. [ 1 ] The disease may be acquired upon contact with bloodor bodily fluidsof an infected animal (commonly monkeys or fruit bats). Fruit bats are believed to carry and spread the virus without being affected. Once human infection occurs, the disease may spread between people as well. Male survivors may be able to transmit the disease via semenfor nearly two months. In order to make the diagnoses, typically other diseases with similar symptoms such as malaria, choleraand other viral hemorrhagic feversare first excluded. Blood samples may then be tested for viral antibodies, viral RNA, or the virus itself to confirm the diagnosis. May such not happen in our lives in jesus name
