Ebola

Introduction

This paper focuses on one of the dangerous virus named Ebola. After the introduction, its causes symptoms and treatment will also discuss. Moreover the statistical figures are shown in the end. It is a viral infection and immune content you may have. Their mechanisms of action are not known, but it is very similar to other filoviruses, such as Marburg has 22 N-glycosylated sites on its surface (Ebola has only 17). In its genome contains 7 genes. One of these genes codes for the varieties of the same glycoprotein, one of which is a glycoprotein transmenbranal (GP) and the other is smaller (GSP) is also a secretary protein. This was discovered in 1976 near the Ebola River in Zaire, Africa.

Africa has taken the responsibility to named Ebola as it was found there. Virus nemes are usually depends on the country name , in or to have some distingustion (Smith, 2006).

What Causes It?

Ebola is given by a virus of the filovirus family, composed of RNA as genetic material. At the end of the virus's genetic material seems to have long non-coding sequences that give it stability. Their virions are 80 nm in diameter and its length varies. The virions are 7 structural proteins, one of which is presented in two ways. And the membrane lipids of the virion are a reflection of the lipids of host cells. There are three subtypes identified that affect humans: Ebola-Zaire, Ebola-Sudan and Ebola-Ivory Coast, a fourth is known as Ebola-Reston, which only affects monkeys.

Since hemorrhagic fevers are several, they can be transmitted by different vectors, among which the tick that causes hemorrhagic fever, Omsk in Russia. The mosquito can transmit the Chikungunya hemorrhagic fever, yellow fever and dengue. Or it may be of zoonotic origin, which is included Ebola, which is given by the contact with ...
