The Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) is a communicable disease that has indeed resulted in an
outbreak across international borders. Signs and symptoms of EVD are similar to those of the
, (OPTONAL) 2
flu: fever, severe headache, joint and muscle aches, chills, weakness. These symptoms typically
appear 2 to 21 days after exposure with the virus. Symptoms progress to diarrhea and vomiting
as the patient becomes sicker(“Signs and Symptoms,” 2019). Other symptoms, according to the
CDC, may include unexplained hemorrhaging, red eyes, skin rash, and hiccups. EVD can be
fatal if not treated.
The largest Ebola outbreak since the virus was first discovered in 1976 occurred between
2014-2016. According to World Health Organization (WHO), this outbreak began in December
2013in a small village in Guinea. It is believed that an 18-month-old boy was infected by bats.
The virus soon spread to the countries of Guinea, Sierra Leone, andLiberia. The EVD spreads
when a person encounters body fluids or objects that have been contaminated with the body
fluids of a person who has been sick with, or died from, Ebola(“Ebola virus disease,” 2020).
This outbreak continuedJuly 17, 2014 when a patient being treated in a hospital for possible
Ebola virus left against medical advice. On July 20, 2014, this sick passenger traveled from
Liberia to Lagos, Nigeria via the international airport. Upon arrival, he was transported to a
private hospital with Ebola symptoms including fever, vomiting, and diarrhea. The patient died
on July 25, 2014 (Shuaib et al., 2014). The EVD outbreak of 2014-2016 ended with greater than
28,000 infected and 11,325 deaths (Marks, 2019).
There are many epidemiological determinants associated with this outbreak. According
to the CDC, EVD is caused by an infection with Zaire ebolavirus and occurs naturally in specific
animals of African countries. The Ebola virus then spreads person to person, after a person
comes in contact with an infected animal, via contact with blood and body fluids. The virus is
easily spread through urine, feces, saliva, sweat, vomit, breast milk, amniotic fluid, semen, and
vaginal fluids (“Signs and Symptoms,” 2019). Left untreated, the Ebola virus can be deadly.
