Melo Kolo Kyari Aug. 2018 to date THE GENESIS OF EBOLA VIRUS Ebola Virus Disease (EVD), formerly known as Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever (EHF) is a severe, often-fatal disease in humans and non- human primates. The virus is named after the Ebola River in Yambuku, Democratic Republic of Congo (Formerly Zaire), where one of the First outbreaks occurred in 1976. In the same year, there was another outbreak in Nzara, Sudan. HOW EBOLA VIRUS SPREAD It spreads to people by contact with an infected animal’s skin or bodily fluids like a MONKEY, GORILLA, FOREST ANTELOPE, PORCUPINE, CHIMPANZEE, OR FRUIT BAT. People can also be exposed to the Ebola virus through contact with objects, such as needles that have been contaminated with infected secretions. SYMPTOMS OF EBOLA VIRUS Early symptoms include HIGH FEVER, HEADACHE, JOINT AND 32 of 111 24/07/2024, 10:52 2024 Complete Nigeria Current Affairs PDF Free Download - Project Topics about:reader?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projecttopics.com%2Fblog... MUSCLE ACHES, SORE THROAT, WEAKNESS, STOMACH PAIN, and LACK OF APPETITE. These symptoms can appear 2 to 21 days after infection. The symptoms can progress to vomiting, diarrhea, impaired kidney and liver function, and sometimes internal and external bleeding (Eyes, Ears and Nose). HOW EBOLA VIRUS CAN BE DIAGNOSED Diagnosing Ebola HF in an individual who has been infected only a few days is difficult because early symptoms, such as red eyes and a skin rash, are nonspecific to the virus and are seen in other patients with a disease that occurs much more frequently. However, if a person has the constellation of symptoms described above, and infection with Ebola virus is suspected, isolate the patient and notify local and state health departments and the CDC. PREVENTION OF THE EBOLA VIRUS Avoid direct contact with the body fluid of infected people You are expected to wash your hands regularly, and you must wash both the front and back up to your elbow with soap. Use a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol as often as possible when water is not available because the Virus can’t stand alcohol. Avoid eating bush meat, particularly monkeys, gorillas, forest antelopes, porcupines, chimpanzees, and fruit bats. Whatever animal products you consume, wash them rigorously and cook thoroughly. Avoid sharing clothes, towels, bed sheets, handkerchiefs, etc. 33 of 111 24/07/2024, 10:52 2024 Complete Nigeria Current Affairs PDF Free Download - Project Topics about:reader?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projecttopics.com%2Fblog...
