Ebola is the common term for a group of viruses belonging to genus Ebolavirus (EBOV), which is a part of the family Filoviridae, and for the disease that they cause, Ebola hemorrhagic fever.

The viruses are characterized by long filaments. Virions are generally 80 nm in diameter. They are of variable length, typically around 1000 nm, but may be up to 1400 nm long. In the center of the virion is a structure called nucleocapsid, it has a diameter of 40-50 nm and contains a central channel of 20-30 nm in diameter.
