The Ebola virus disease, also known as Ebola hemorrhagic fever, is a recent disease that first had an outbreak in remote villages in Central Africa. It is a fatal virus that was first transmitted to humans through animal contact, mainly bats. Now it is spread from people to people through human contact. Currently there is no licensed treatment for it, but there are two possible vaccines undergoing evaluation. The only methods for preventing the virus from spreading is by avoiding contact with those infected with it and by safe burials.
