Abstract

Rihab Muhammad Dafallah*

Ebola virus appeared first in Africa in the village near the Ebola River in Zaire (new democratic Congo), then the virus spreads to many countries in Africa as an ongoing Ebola virus outbreak (endemic disease). Ebola virus, Sudan virus, and Bundibugyo virus cause severe Ebola Virus Disease (EVD), a life-threatening outbreak in humans the scientists previously knew the virus as a potential bioweapons agent. The EBOV spreads far in Asia, Europe, and America due to human movement and travelers.
