Ebola causes severe hemorrhagic fever accompanied by high death rates. It spreads mostly via hands-on contact with bodily fluids from those infected. It originates African regions, as outbreaks frequently in rural areas. Major outbreaks include 2014-2016 West African outbreak, affecting Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. A later outbreak was in 2020 in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Illness typically appear in 2-21 days after exposure, with fever, vomiting, watery diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Current treatments focus on care that supports, such as fluid therapy alongside complication management, and also experimental treatment and vaccines.
