Ebola leads to serious hemorrhagic fever driven by high death rates. It is passed mostly via direct contact body fluids from those infected. It originates in certain regions of Africa, as outbreaks frequently in rural areas. Notable epidemics include the 2014-2016 West African epidemic, hitting Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. A later outbreak was in 2020 DR Congo. Clinical signs often start within 2-21 days post-exposure, including high fever, nausea/vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal discomfort. Present treatments focus on care that supports, such as IV fluids plus managing complications, together with experimental treatment and vaccines.
