It has an extremely high rate of mortality. It is not impossible to survive an Ebola infection, however it is very unlikely.

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.


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.

HIV is lethal. You will eventually obtain AIDS and then die from it. However, you can slow down the progressing of HIV by taking medications.


What is most lethal bloodborne pathogen?

The most lethal bloodborne pathogen is generally considered to be the Ebola virus. It causes Ebola virus disease, which has a high fatality rate, often exceeding 50% in outbreaks. Transmission occurs through direct contact with infected bodily fluids, and there is currently no widely available cure or vaccine for all strains. Other notable bloodborne pathogens include HIV and hepatitis B and C viruses, but they typically have lower immediate mortality rates compared to Ebola.


What pathogens is Ebola made from?

Ebola is caused by a pathogenic virus. Four of the five strains can make people, monkeys, gorillas, and chimpanzees sick. The fifth virus causes disease in those animals but not in people. The strain in the current outbreak is the most lethal one.


Are only humans infected with Ebola?

No, there are 5 strains of Ebola. Four of the five strains can make people, monkeys, gorillas, and chimpanzees sick. The fifth virus causes disease in those animals but not in people. The strain in the current outbreak is the most lethal one.

Is there any animals in Utah that carry the Ebola virus?

No, there are no known animals in Utah that carry the Ebola virus. Ebola is primarily associated with certain species of bats and non-human primates in specific regions of Africa. The virus is not endemic to the United States, and there have been no reported cases of Ebola in wildlife within Utah. Therefore, the risk of encountering Ebola in Utah is extremely low.
