Luckily very few or none. Once it is contracted it is almost always fatal and within a very short space of time (I think it is something like 7 - 10 days).

It normally occurs in outbreaks and because of the extremely fast incubation time the epidemic dies out quickly. Once infected a human can transmit it through contaminated blood or body fluids, making it very difficult to treat in primary health care facilities. It seems to be a pretty nasty virus as it basically liquefies your organs and the victim haemorrhage's to death

The actual vector of the virus is unknown, although it is thought to be carried in some primates or bats - which also die.

It is related to some other "favourites" such as Marburg Virus and is part of the Filovirus taxon.
