Since 1976, when the Ebola Hemmorrhagic Fever were first identified, there have been 1,511 human deaths directly attributed to Ebola HF through January, 2008. The actual number is almost certainly higher for three reasons: 1. Ebola occurs most often in parts of the world where communications is difficult, and all cases may not be reported. 2. The diagnosis of Ebola is difficult, and it manifests in ways similar to many other diseases, and so is likely to have been misdiagnosed. 3. The reservoir of Ebola is not known. Often, when Ebola breaks out, the entire population of smaller villages may be destroyed. This would normally stop the spread of the disease. However, Ebola HF in its various forms reappears from time to time. Where the disease stays alive during these periods is unknown. Ergo, in times before any practical communications, population centers could be completely wiped out with no record whatsoever. In perspective, note that while Ebola HF is frequently lethal, its nature and location of incidence has made it a minor player in the world's overall death toll for disease in general and viral infections in particular.

It depends. Ebola virus Is a highly infectious disease. It is spread not only by the living, but also by the dead. Funeral ceremonies can be a source of exposure of the virus to a large gathering of people.
