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.
