ABSTRACT:
Ebola virus, the virus answerable for Ebola virus infection, has brought forth a few plagues during the previous 38 years. In 2014, an Ebola pestilence spread from Africa to different landmasses, whirling into a pandemic. Presently, there is no paradigm treatment for Ebola, so it is imperative to steer clear of infection or supplementary spreading of the virus. The virus's moderately exceptional construction, its infectivity and lethality, the trouble in halting its spread, and the lack of a powerful treatment caught the world's consideration. This article gives a concise outlook on Ebola virus sickness, its etiologic, diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and recent outbreaks data to alert mankind.
