- Abstract:
Ebola hemorrhagic fever is a condition caused by the Ebola virus, leading to a serious disease that has an extremely high mortality rate. This condition is spread by contact with the body fluids of an infected person or animal, even after death, and can be spread in research laboratories from infected animals. The Ebola virus, which occurs naturally in sub-Saharan Africa, damages the lining of blood vessels and interferes with blood clotting. Ebola hemorrhagic fever appears in sporadic outbreaks.
