I want to know the virus that causes the Ebola disease. How it is spread from one person to another and if there's any cure about it. What can the political leaders do to this epidemic?

Ebola is caused by an infection with the Ebola virus. There are four identified subtypes of Ebola virus: Ebola-Zaire, Ebola-Sudan, Ebola-Ivory Coast, and Ebola-Reston. All but the Ebola-Reston subtype are known to have caused disease in humans. There are no other known causes of Ebola. Human-to-human transmission of Ebola occurs through direct contact with patients who have Ebola, or their body fluids (such as blood or secretions).
There is only one cause of Ebola. The cause of Ebola is an infection with the Ebola virus. There are no other causes of Ebola.
The Ebola virus got its name from a river in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (formerly Zaire), in Africa, where it was first recognized. Ebola virus is one of two members of a family of RNA viruses known as Filoviridae. There are four identified subtypes of Ebola virus. Three of the four have caused disease in humans:
* Ebola-Zaire
* Ebola-Sudan
* Ebola-Ivory Coast.
The fourth Ebola virus subtype, Ebola-Reston, has caused disease in nonhuman primates, but not in humans.
The exact origin, locations, and natural habitat (known as the natural reservoir) of Ebola virus remain unknown; however, on the basis of available evidence, and the nature of similar viruses, researchers believe that the Ebola virus lives in an animal host that is native to the African continent. They continue to search for the exact animal.
Just as scientists are unsure of the animal host for the Ebola virus, they are also unsure how an outbreak of Ebola virus occurs. Researchers have hypothesized that the first patient becomes infected with Ebola virus through contact with an infected animal.-

This fairly relies upon on your area of learn. I advise, shucks, as an undergrad, I dealt with bacteria, mice, rabbits, cats, corn, crayfish, frogs, finches, fungi, fruit flies, sea hares, chickens, sea urchins, monkeys, or perhaps some human beings. in any case, if that is going to be something you would be keeping around for a whilst, you could desire to prefer a number of those characteristics: a million. Grown definitely interior the lab 2. Reproduce straight away and easily in captivity 3. conventional inbred strains exist and you gets your palms on them 4. have not got countless particular standards in terms of area, temperature, care, and so on. (the sea hares required a determination of rooms stored at 15 tiers C with a extensive tank of seawater). 5. are not pathenogenic to human beings 6. do not get away (Oy. there have been continuously escaped fruit flies humming around. Periodically, some undergrad might pattern the community wild inhabitants to work out how properly the lab mutants have been at interbreeding with them).
