EBOLA THREATENS THE WORLD; VIRUSES DON’T NEED VISA

Ebola disease, also known as severe hemorrhagic disease is caused by a virus, Ebola. This organism has been termed as requiring Bio-safety level 4 by WHO, which means that studying this virus would require the highest possible amount of safety measures. Laboratories which work with all the safety equipment’s and techniques are very few in number in the entire world and currently there is no cure available for the disease caused by Ebola virus. The signs and symptoms may not appear up till around two weeks of being infected with the virus. The symptoms include fever, nausea, vomiting, headache, muscle ache and severe cases may reach the stage of excessive bleeding (WHO, 2014). Once the infection establishes itself, the chaos starts and no cure is yet available.
