Ebola virus, formerly designated Zaire ebolavirus, is one of five known viruses within the genus Ebola virus. Four of the five known Ebola viruses, including EBOV, cause a severe and often fatal hemorrhagic fever in humans and other mammals, were known as Ebola virus disease (EVD). Ebola virus has caused the majority of human deaths from EVD, and is the cause of the 2013–2015 Ebola virus epidemic in West Africa, which has resulted in at least 28,657 suspected cases and 11,325 confirmed deaths. Ebola virus is a zoonotic pathogen. Intermediary hosts have been reported to be "various species of fruit bats...throughout central and sub-Saharan Africa". Evidence of infection in bats has been detected through molecular and serologic means. However, Ebola viruses have not been isolated in bats. End hosts are humans and great apes, infected through bat contact or through other end hosts. Ebola virus outbreaks tend to occur when temperatures are lower and humidity is higher than the usual for Africa.
In the present book, fourteen typical literatures about diabetes Ebola virus published on international authoritative journals were selected to introduce the worldwide newest progress, which contains reviews or original researches on medical science, virology, epidemiology, ect. We hope this book can demonstrate advances in Ebola virus as well as give references to the researchers, students and other related people.
