THE GENESIS OF EBOLA VIRUS

Ebola Virus Disease (EVD), formerly known as Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever (EHF) is a severe, often-fatal disease in humans and non-human primates. The virus is named after the Ebola River in Yambuku, Democratic Republic of Congo (Formerly Zaire), where one of the First outbreaks occurred in 1976. In the same year there was another outbreak in Nzara, Sudan.

HOW EBOLA VIRUS SPREAD

• It spreads to people by contact with the skin or bodily fluids of an infected animal like MONKEY, GORILLA, FOREST ANTELOPE, PORCUPINE, CHIMPANZEE OR FRUIT BAT.
• People can also be exposed to Ebola virus through contact with objects, such as needles that have been contaminated with infected secretions.

SYMPTOMS OF EBOLA VIRUS

Early symptoms include: HIGH FEVER, HEADACHE, JOINT AND MUSCLE ACHES, SORE THROAT, WEAKNESS, STOMACH PAIN, LACK OF APPETITE.

These symptoms can appear 2 to 21 days after infection. The symptoms can progress to vomiting, diarrhea, impaired kidney and liver function and sometimes internal and external bleeding (Eyes, Ears and Nose).

HOW EBOLA VIRUS CAN BE DIAGNOSED

Diagnosing Ebola HF in an individual who has been infected only a few days is difficult because early symptoms, such as red eyes and a skin rash, are nonspecific to the virus and are seen in other patients with disease that occur much more frequently. However, if a person has the constellation of symptoms described above, and infection with Ebola virus is suspected, isolate the patient and notify local and state health department and the CDC.

PREVENTION OF EBOLA VIRUS

• Avoid direct contact with the body fluid of infected people
• You are expected to wash your hands regularly, and you must wash both the front and back up to your elbow with soap.
• Use a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol as often as possible when water is not available, because the Virus can’t stand alcohol
• Avoid eating of bush meat, particularly monkey, gorilla, forest antelopes, porcupines, chimpanzee of fruit bats.
• Whatever animal products you consume; wash rigorously and cook thoroughly.
• Avoid sharing clothes, towels, bed-sheets, handkerchiefs etc.
• Avoid unnecessary public gatherings and handshakes.

NOTE:

Mr. Pattrick Sawyer a 40-year-old Liberian-American civil servant who knowingly imported Ebola into Nigeria died July 25, 2014 in First Consultant Medical Centre, Obalende, Lagos.
