Story Tools BRAZZAVILLE, Republic of Congo (AP) U.N. health officials confirmed on Wednesday that a disease outbreak killing scores of people in the Republic of Congo was Ebola and warned that the highly lethal haemorrhagic fever could still be spreading. "We're not suggesting that this is over or even contained. We're treating it as an active outbreak," Iain Simpson, a World Health Organization (WHO) spokesman in Geneva, said. So far, 73 people have been infected, of whom 59 have died, according to WHO investigators. Government health officials in the tiny Central African nation report 80 cases with 67 deaths. The Cuvette West region, where the deaths have occurred, has been quarantined by the government since last week. Blood samples drawn from victims in the region tested positive for the Ebola virus, Josef Mboussa, a top official in Republic of Congo's health ministry, said. The disease is one of the world's deadliest, causing rapid death through massive blood loss in up to 90 percent of those infected.

Time.com People Fortune EW Bill Delaney: Ebola scare in Canada February 7, 2001 Web posted at: 4:13 p.m. EST (2113 GMT) Bill Delaney is CNN's Boston bureau chief. Q: What is this woman's nationality, and how did she arrive in Canada? Delaney : What we have had confirmed by a Canadian national health official is only that she is African. She is from the Democratic Republic of Congo. She had come to Canada via New York over the weekend up to Toronto and then had gone the hour's drive from Toronto to Hamilton, Ontario to visit two friends in Hamilton. She did not show any symptoms, by the way, of any illness until she arrived in Hamilton. Doctors say that's very good news for anyone who may have had contact with her before she got to Hamilton because Ebola is a disease which is not contagious until it manifests symptoms. The two people she had come to visit are apparently at some risk, but we have no more information on their status; but they could have come in contact with their friend in a manner that could be dangerous. MESSAGE BOARD Would the Canadian public health system be able to handle an Ebola outbreak?

Your browser does not support javascript Ancient Ebola Virus? Volume 49 Number 6, November/December 1996 by Allison Brugg The plague of Athens, which wiped out one fourth of the city's population between 430 and 427 B.C., was the earliest known outbreak of ebola, according to a recent article in Emerging Infectious Diseases. Epidemiologists Patrick Olson and Charles Hames of the Naval Medical Center in San Diego, and Abram Bennenson and Nicholas Genovese of San Diego State University believe that Thucydides' description of the disease in his history of the Peloponnesian War matches the symptoms ebola, which killed more than 300 people in Zaire and Sudan last year. Thucydides wrote that after the disease's "abrupt onset, persons in good health were seized first with strong fevers, redness and burning of the eyes, and the inside of the mouth, both the throat and tongue, immediately was bloody-looking and expelled an unusually foul breath. Following these came sneezing, hoarseness...a powerful cough...and every kind of bilious vomiting...and in most cases an empty heaving ensued that produced a strong spasm." Scholars had thought that Athens suffered an outbreak of measles, smallpox, typhus, or bubonic plague. All these ailments, says Olson, would have been preceded by a cough producing blood or mucus. Thucydides wrote that the cough was "empty." Olson and his colleagues contend that the description of the dry cough in Thucydides' account matches that of ebola, basing their theory in part on a retranslation of Thucydides. They believe that the Greek word lugx, which Thucydides uses in his description of symptoms and which had previously been translated as "retching" or "dry heaving," may have been the word for hiccup. Fifteen percent of the victims of the 1995 Zaire outbreak of ebola complained of uncontrollable hiccuping.

This is a student webpage made for an assignment at Davidson College in Dr. Campbell's Immunology Course Overview of the Virus Ebola Ebola belongs to a family of viruses entitled Filoviridae, and is commonly classified as a viral hemorrhagic fever (CDC, 2002). The known causes of viral hemorrhagic fever include arenaviruses, filoviruses, bunyaviruses, and flaviviruses. All virions classified as hemorrhagic are enveloped (covered) RNA viruses, whose survival is dependent on an animal reservoir. Viral hemorrhagic fever commonly describes a medical scenario in which multiple organ systems of the body are affected as well as extensive internal hemorrhaging (bleeding) (WHO,2000). Ebola along with the Marburg virus are the only viruses identified in the Filoviridae family (CDC,2002). Filovirus virions are characterized by having one molecule of single stranded, negative-sense RNA, as well as their unique "U" shaped structures (CDC, 2002). Figures 1 and 2 show scanning electron micrographs of Ebola. Figure 1 was the first photograph ever taken of Ebola in 1976.

EB-ST type: It was found in Shantou of South China. People contracted the virus showing severe illness. Transmission is unknown. Incubation period: 30-120 days. Infected people have localized maculopapular rash. Cases occur in the form of diathesis in the smallest capillaries that lead to necrosis of the involved tissues. The characteristic of this virus is its intermittent exacerbation of the symptoms. This virus is suspected to be the mutated by-product of Ebola virus and other viruses. The confirmative diagnosis is usually made by the identification of EB-SZ-like virus in the tissues of deceased cases. 3. EB-HN type: It was found in Hunan of Central China. Transmission is unknown. Incubation is about 30-60 days. Infected cases experience discomfort due to the localized diathesis. After the disintegration of blood vessels, patients experience symptoms related to blood loss. Most of the deceased cases' heavily infected organs were in their lungs. If the blood vessels of the internal organs were infected, it will cause hepatic damage. Deceased case's face and bottom will disintegrate within 2-8 hours afterwards; their nails also fall apart. Autopsy found that the tissues of tendons were as soft as muscle.

One hundred and sixty-four people have come into contact with the disease around Mbomo, some 700 km (440 miles) northwest of the central African nation's capital Brazzaville and just across the border from Gabon, Tele-Congo said on Monday night. Teams from Congo Republic's health ministry, the World Health Organization and aid agency Medecins Sans Frontieres were in the Mbomo region trying to break the chain of contamination. There is no known cure for Ebola, which is passed on by infected body fluids and kills between 50 and 90 percent of victims depending on the strain. The disease damages blood vessels and can cause bleeding, diarrhea and shock. Its worst outbreak, in 1995, killed more than 250 people in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

It is spread through direct contact with body fluids of a person who is very ill with Ebola virus hemorrhagic fever. Four varieties of Ebola virus are known to exist: Ebola Zaire (EBOZ), Ebola Sudan (EBOS), Ebola Reston (EBOR), and Ebola Ivory Coast. Ebola virus is transmitted person-to-person by direct contact with infected blood, secretions, organs, or semen An infected person can transmit the disease to others as long as virus particles are left in the blood, which may occur weeks after the person is feeling better. There is potential for an infected person to transmit Ebola to others after fully recovering from the illness.

Ebola Virus The virus comes from the Filoviridae family, similar to the Marburg virus. It is named after the Ebola River in Zaire, Africa, nearwhere the first outbreak was noted by Dr. Ngoy Mushola in 1976 after a significant outbreak in Yambuku, Zaire (now theDemocratic Republic of the Congo), and Nzara, in western Sudan. Of 602 identified cases, there were 397 deaths. Further outbreaks have occurred in Zaire/Congo (1995 and 2003), Gabon (1994, 1995 and 1996), and in Uganda (2000). A new subtype was identified from a single human case in the Côte d'Ivoire in 1994, EBO-CI. Of around 1500 identified Ebola cases, two-thirds of the patients have died. The animal (or other) reservoir which sustains the virus between outbreaks has not been identified. Ebola Virus History Ebola-Zaire Ebola-Zaire, the first-discovered Ebola virus, is also the most deadly. At its worst, it has a ninety percent fatality rate. There have been more outbreaks of Ebola-Zaire than any other type of Ebola virus (³Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever²). The first outbreak took place in 1976 in Yambuku, Zaire (now Democratic Republic of Congo). Mabelo Lokela checked into the local hospital with a fever. One of the nurses assumed Lokela had malaria and gave him a quinine shot. When Lokela returned home from the hospital and died, the women of his family conducted a traditional African funeral for him. In preparation for this funeral, they removed all the blood and excreta from his body with their bare hands. Most of the women in his family died soon afterwards (Draper 19).
