What is the difference between the Swine Flu and Ebola?

Answer 1

They are not the same exact virus but they are similar. The virus that causes bird flu in humans first mutated from a virus that birds had so that it then could be passed to humans and now it is passed from human to human. The same thing happened with swine flu that started among pigs as a virus they got and then mutated to spread to humans. Viruses replicate rapidly and are able to mutate very quickly in some cases to create new strains that can multiply in other areas and hosts.

For information on how to help prevent the spread of viruses like bird flu and Swine Flu, see the information in the related question below. (Viruses are also known as microbes.)

Answer 2

NO. The Bird Flu is influenza caused by the H5N1 virus, also known as the Avian Flu.

H5N1 virus is an influenza virus (cold virus).

And Ebola is a filovirus that has little in common with the aforementioned diseases caused by different viruses.

Answer 3

. Swine flu doesn't often infect people, and the rare human cases that have occurred in the past have mainly affected people who had direct contact with pigs. But the current swine flu outbreak is different because it's caused by a new swine flu virus that has evolved in ways that allow it to spread from person to person through the air or from face to face contact. The Ebola virus was most likely spread from monkeys, who are suspected to be the viruses’ original hosts. The spread of Ebola is caused by the direct contact with an infected person or his or her body fluids, such as blood or secretions. The symptoms of the Swine Flu virus is a lot like the regular flu, because includes fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose, body aches, headache, chills, and fatigue. Many people with swine flu have had diarrhea and vomiting. Ebola’s symptoms are similar but more fatal. The differences include rash, red eyes, bloody vomiting, bloody diarrhea, shock, blindness, bleeding, and death. Swine Flu can cause great sickness, but Ebola causes unbearable sickness that results in death with almost every victim. There is a vaccine for the Swine Flu.
