Ebola is the common term for a group of viruses belonging to genus Ebolavirus, family Filoviridae, which cause Ebola hemorrhagic fever. The disease can be lethal and encompasses a range of symptoms, usually including vomiting, diarrhea, general body pain, internal and external bleeding, and fever. Mortality rates are generally high, ranging from 50% - 90%, with the cause of death usually due to hypovolemic shock or multiple organ failure.
Due to its high lethality and the fact that no approved vaccine or treatment is available, Ebola is classified as a biosafety level 4 organism; as well as a category A bioterrorism agent and a select agent by the CDC.
I'd say that's pretty nasty, wouldn't you!?
