The Ebola Outbreak in West Africa has been declared 
an International Health Emergency by WHO !
More than 5000 people have killed by disease 
mostly in Guinea, Liberia & Sierra Leone
Many other countries are at high alert. This disease is in its most virulent form.
And there is no cure or vaccine yet developed.
We are now presenting to you a documentary on Ebola.
This outbreak began in Guinea in March
Since then it has spread to neighboring Sierra Leone and Liberia
with 814 confirmed cases across 3 countries.
The ebola virus is transmitted through
bodily fluid  via oral and nasal exposure it looks
 
through the conjunctiva. The virus
infects replicate the immune cells.
cells which further dissimilates the virus.
Lymphocyte depletion is obsevered in spleen, thymus and liver.
Intensified immune response lead to blood coagulation.
which causes bleeding and haemoraging in
the gastrointestinal tract
compromised vascular and endothelial
cells also cause blood vessel leakage leading to hypertension.
disregulated host immune response, coagulation abnormalities
and impaired vascular system leads to shock
and systemic organ failure. Doctors are
at high risk of exposure to the virus
they must apply additional infection control precautions
including wearing personal protective equipment
such as the gowns, masks, gloves and goggles.
as well as ensuring complete equipment
sterilisation.
Ebola Patients must be isolated and attended by well trained Medical Staff.!
Ebola viruses are the viruses that cause haemoragic fevers, illness 
marked by severe bleeding, organ failure and in many cases death.
This virus is native in Africa where sporadic outbreaks have ocurred for decades.
This virus first appeared in 1976
in two simultaneous outbreaks. First one in Zaire
and the other one in Yambaku
in the National Democratic of Congo. Fruit bats are known to be the natural hosts
of this virus. They are introduced to human population through
closed contacts with blood, bloodly secretions or organs of infected
animals such as monkeys, chimpanzees, gorillas, porcupines 
found ill or dead in the rainforests.
No vaccine has been developed for this disease.
Bats are one of the culprits behind the rapid
spread of the virus minute earth posted
this explaining why
all of these nasty pathogens have surfaced in human
in just the last 50 years
and they are  all carried by bats. The recent rise in outbreaks is likely due to
humans and other animals could be
due to creeping ever farther into bat's territory
especially in the tropics
No drugs has been yet approved to treat this virus. People diagnosed with Ebola
are given supportive care and treatment for complications.
That is they are quarrantined. Scientist are coming closer for developing a vaccine.

Dr.Bijli - "Is Ebola virus a serious problem?"
Dr.Adevoh - "The health workers in west  Africa are currently fighting with the most horrible ebola virus out break in the history."
Dr.Adevoh- "More than 670 peoples have died and
more than 700 people are infected. It is a huge problem."
Dr.Bijli- "If a person is already 
infected by this Ebola virus. He travels through an aeroplane.
Does he gets all the people around him infected by this dangerous virus?"
Dr. Adevoh- "No. The short answer is no
because it spreads from animal to animal. Fairly rare it would spread from animal to human beings.
But it could also spreads from animal faeces or animal saliva,
and it can spread through animal sweat.
Should I show you a video to be more specified?" 
Dr. Bijli - "So this Ebola virus is a great problem. We need to tackle it fast."

Dr. Adevoh- "Please don't touch. You would get infected."
Dr. Bijli- "Hello. Hello Matru?" **EXHAUSTED TONE**
Dr. Matru- "Hello Bijli!"
Dr. Bijli- "Dr. Adevoh tested me.
I have EBOLA.
I dont know what's happening to me. My head is paining
terribly. I'm vomiting continuously. I'm feeling very weak."
Dr. Matru - "What!? Ebola !? Okay. Ok. Calm Down! Nothing will happen to you."
Dr. Bijli - "I don't know. It's a very fatal disease. I I... "
Dr. Matru- "Don't panic. I would look into this matter and would be there soon. Okay? Good Bye! Take Care.!"
Mrs. Pillai - "My name is Geeta Pillai
and I am a microbiologist. Currently i'm doing research on Ebola Virus."
Dr. Matru - "So! Please tell me how does this disease progress?"
Mrs. Pillai - "Symptoms range within 2 days to 21 days
and when the virus affects the patient
How the symptoms start is
more be like headaches, joint and 
muscle aches. Patient also feels severe  and vomiting.
This is very gradual. Finally the death happens due to internal bleeding."
Dr. Matru - "How does this disease spread in Africa in current epidemic?"
Mrs. Pillai - "Basically the natural hosts of this disease
is fruit bats. And if 
a person comes into contact with any secretions
of the infected animal
or any organ of it, humans get infected.
Other hosts are also chimpanzees,
monkeys and gorillas. So this the way
by which the infection actually orginated and spread."
Dr. Matru- "What do you think is the treatment for Ebola?"
Mrs. Pillai - "No such cure for EBOLA! What the patient needs is
an intensive medical care to reduce the mortality rate, happening right now. And also to reduce the spread of the disease.
Dr. Matru - "Who do you think is most at risk?"
Mrs. Pillai - "Health workers, relative and the moaners.!"
**"THANKS TO Mrs. Pillai"**
Dr. Matru - "We have sucessfully lauched fight back EBOLA campaign in 123 countries of the world."
"For those who are suffering from EBOLA as well as their family, I would like to say "DO NOT LOSE HOPE & THIS IS NOT THE END.!" "
**"TOGETHER WE CAN FIGHT BACK EBOLA !**
