Ebola is a rare severe disease, often fatal, caused by the Ebola virus.
It is transmitted through direct contact with blood or other bodily fluids (e.g. saliva, urine) from infected
people, dead or alive. This includes unprotected sexual contact with patients up to seven weeks after they
have recovered.
You can also catch the disease from direct contact with blood and other bodily fluids from wild animals, dead
or alive, such as monkeys, forest antelopes and bats.
Ebola virus does not transmit through the air as influenza does.
After two days and up to 21 days following exposure to the virus the disease may start suddenly with fever,
muscle aches, weakness, headache and sore throat.
The next stage of the disease is characterised by vomiting, diarrhoea, rash and malfunction of the liver and
kidneys. Some patients also have profuse internal and external bleeding and multi-organ failure.
There is no specific vaccine or treatment for the disease.
