Ebola hf stands for Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever.
Ebola hf stands for Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever.
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.

The Ebola virus is the actual name of the pathogen that causes Ebola. Yes, it is a virulent pathogen, but that is to the name, just a description.
It's named after a river in Africa. The disease was first identified in the Ebola River valley.
Filovirus isn't actually a virus itself, rather it refers to the family Filoviridae, which contains several viruses, including Ebola. Ebola used to be called Zaire ebolavirus.
Since viruses are nonliving, they are not given genus and species names. This virus is called the Ebola hemorrhagic virus (EHV).
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)
The Hreaction is the difference between Hf, products and Hf, reactants
No, it is not ionic. HF is covalent.

Ebola virus disease (EVD) or Ebola hemorrhagic fever (EHF) is a disease of humans and other primates caused by an ebolavirus. Symptoms start two days to three weeks after contracting the virus, with a fever, sore throat, muscle pain and headaches.
