ebola
In the year 1976, Ebola climbed out of its unknown hiding place and caused the death of 340 people (www.cdc.gov/nci.brochures/ebolainf.html). Fear gripped the victims' faces, and uncertainty tortured their minds (www.cdc.gov/nci.brochures/ebolainf.html). The people of Zaire waited outside clinics, churches and in their homes for a treatment of the horrible disease, but there was no cure ("EBOLA"). They were forced to watch people die, hoping that they would be saved from the violent death of the Ebola virus ("EBOLA"). From the year of 1976 to the present date of 2000, researchers have searched for origin and cure of the virus (www.cdc.gov/nci.brochures/ebolainf.html). Scientist has carried out numerous studies and investigations, but no one has been able to find the right explanations (www.cdc.gov/nci.brochures/ebolainf.html). Prevention of a world wide outbreak lies within the education of what the virus is capable of doing, how Ebola victims can be properly treated, and by! performing prompt action to isolate the virus before it has dispersed (www.cdc.gov/nci.brochures/ebolainf.html). The Ebola virus is a member of a family of RNA viruses know as filo viruses (www.cdc.gov/nci.brochures/ebolainf
During most of these outbreaks, field teams of researchers have captured more than 3,000 birds and mammals, including small rodents and several thousand possible insects (www.cdc.gov/nci.brochures/ebolainf.html). Materials of these animals are now being processed for virus isolation (www.cdc.gov/nci.brochures/ebolainf.html). Blood samples of an estimated 64 suspected cases have also been serologically confirmed (www.cdc.gov/nci.brochures/ebolainf.html). Still to this day, many questions like "where is Ebola originally from?" and "Will Ebola Zaire, Sudan, or Tai be able to become air- born?" remain a mystery (www.cdc.gov/nci.brochures/ebolainf.html). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The outbreaks of 1976 and 1979 left no evidence to what might have been carrying the Ebola before it was passed onto humans ("EBOLA"). . To this date no clues have been uncovered about where the virus hides between outbreaks ("EBOLA"). Collection of animal specimens is currently underway in Kikwit, but the possible species in tropical Africa are so numerous that a long and lucky search is likely to be required ("EBOLA"). The Ebola Tai found on November 24, 1995 by a Swiss researcher in Cote d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast), West Africa (www.cdc.gov/nci.brochures/ebolainf.html). The researcher caught the Ebola Tai from a chimpanzee while carrying out an investigation about a spate of deaths among local chimps of the Tai forest (www.cdc.gov/nci.brochures/ebolainf.html). When the Pasteur investigators examined tissue taken from the dead chimpanzee, they found that the animal's spleen and liver contained large areas of necrotic tissue resembling what had previously been found in autopsies ! k
