The virus family Filoviridae, among that the latest outbreak is Zaire species. The virus is scary, but it’s also rare. You can get it only from direct contact with an infected person’s body fluids. Symptoms may appear anywhere from 2 to 21 days after exposure to Ebola. Diagnostic procedures as Antigen-capture enzyme-linked immune sorbent assay (ELISA) testing, IgM -ELISA, Polymerase chain reaction (PCR), Virus isolation used. No approved vaccine or medicine (e.g., antiviral drug) is available for Ebola. Recovery from Ebola depends on good supportive care and the patient’s immune response.
