How does the host fight Ebola?

This is part of the problem. It appears that the victim typically expresses no autoimmune response to Ebola at all, with immunological responses (perhaps) being limited to responses targeted at secondary, opportunistic infections. It is postulated that some of the glycoproteins on the surface of the Ebola virion may lock down swelling and immune response by binding receptor sites, but this is only a theory at this point.

What is the Ebola and virus name?

The Ebola virus is very deadly but not easy to catch. Ebola is a non air-born disease. This means it can not spread throughout the air. The Ebola disease gets in contact with its host, then gets into the blood steam. During this process it would take about 1-2 weeks before it kills its host.


The host reservoir for which of the Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers remains unknown?

Ebola


CAN THE EBOLA LIVE OUSIDE THE PATIENT AND HOW LONG?

Yes it can. Ebola lives in the patient until it kills its host. It takes about 1-2 weeks until the process is finshed, then your dead.


What are the differences between Ebola Zaire and Ebola Sudan?

Ebola Zaire and Ebola Sudan are two distinct species of the Ebola virus, each associated with different outbreaks and varying levels of virulence. Ebola Zaire, typically considered the most lethal strain, has a higher mortality rate and is responsible for the majority of Ebola outbreaks, including the 2014 West Africa outbreak. In contrast, Ebola Sudan has a lower mortality rate and has been less frequently encountered in outbreaks. Genetic differences and variations in host immune responses contribute to their distinct clinical presentations and epidemiology.


How does the virus Ebola multiply?

Yes. Like all viruses, it goes inside a host cell and replicates itself.


What is the host or carrier of Ebola virus?

As far as we know, Ebola attacks mostly primates. There is some indication that it may also attack the Afrtican Fruit Bat (and by inference, other mammals as well). Some variants of Ebola, notably Ebola reston, were lethal to monkeys but apparently infected humans although -- in humans -- it remained asymptomatic. Bear in mind that we suspect Ebola has been misdiagnosed quite often, as its symptomology is very similar to many other disorders indigenous to Ebola locale.

What caused Ebola?

Ebola is caused by one of four Ebola viruses: Ebola Zaire (most deadly), Ebola Sudan, Ebola Cote d' Ivoire, and Ebola Reston (found in Virgina, US, not deadly to humans)


Why could the Ebola outbreak in Africa not be controlled by antibiotics?

Ebola is a virus, not a bacterium, so antibiotics, which are designed to treat bacterial infections, are not effective against it. Instead, treatments for Ebola focus on supportive care to help the body fight off the virus and manage symptoms. Controlling Ebola outbreaks involves practices like isolation of infected individuals, contact tracing, and supportive care to reduce transmission.


What is the Ebola capsid?

The Ebola capsid is the protein shell that encases the genetic material of the Ebola virus. It consists of a single layer of proteins that form a helical structure, providing protection to the viral RNA and playing a crucial role in viral assembly and infection. The capsid's interactions with host cell machinery are essential for the virus's replication and pathogenicity. Understanding the capsid's structure and function is important for developing treatments and vaccines against Ebola virus disease.
