Learn about Ebola virus disease
Ebola virus disease (EVD), also known as Ebola hemorrhagic fever, is a severe, often fatal illness in humans. The virus is transmitted to people from wild animals and spreads in the human population through human-to-human transmission. Its outbreaks have primarily affected African countries, though it has garnered international attention due to its potential to spread globally. Understanding the natural treatment options and preventative measures for Ebola is essential, especially for those living in or visiting areas where the virus is prevalent.
Causes
Ebola virus disease is caused by an infection with a virus of the Filoviridae family, genus Ebolavirus. There are four species that can cause disease in humans: Zaire, Sudan, Taï Forest, and Bundibugyo ebolavirus. The natural reservoir for the virus is believed to be fruit bats, which can transmit the virus to other animals like primates, leading to subsequent transmission to humans. Human-to-human transmission can occur through direct contact with blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected people, and with surfaces and materials contaminated with these fluids.
Signs and symptoms
- Fever - Severe headache - Muscle pain - Weakness - Fatigue - Diarrhea - Vomiting - Abdominal (stomach) pain - Unexplained hemorrhage (bleeding or bruising)
Diagnosing Ebola virus disease
Diagnosing EVD in an individual who has been symptomatic for a few days is accomplished through several different types of laboratory tests. These can include virus isolation by cell culture, antibody-capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), serum neutralization test, reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay, electron microscopy, or virus antigen detection tests. Due to the high risk of transmission, these tests are conducted under maximum biological containment conditions.
Prevention and natural treatment
Preventing Ebola virus disease involves avoiding contact with the blood and body fluids of infected animals and people. For those living in or traveling to affected areas, wearing protective clothing and practicing good hand hygiene are critical preventive measures. In terms of natural treatment, there are no proven remedies against Ebola, but supportive care – rehydration with oral or intravenous fluids – and treating specific symptoms improves survival. A range of potential treatments including blood products, immune therapies, and drug therapies are currently being evaluated. Besides supportive care, maintaining a strong immune system through a healthy diet, regular physical activity, and adequate rest is essential for those at risk of exposure. Some believe in the potential of natural substances with antiviral properties; however, their effectiveness against Ebola specifically has not been scientifically proven and thus should not replace conventional medical care. Additionally, several vaccines are being tested, which represent the most hopeful measure for controlling future outbreaks.
