Ebola Virus Disease: New and emerging infectious diseases
Author(s): Dr. Mulang Karshenas*
Human-to-human transmission fuels sporadic epidemics of severe, systemic febrile
disease caused by Ebola virus strains. Even though Ebola viruses, particularly
Ebola virus (EBOV), are well-known agents of viral haemorrhagic fever and there
is international concern about Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreaks, very little is
known about the human immune correlates of survival and immune memory and
the pathophysiology of EVD in humans. The absence of clinical and laboratory
data from previous outbreaks is probably to blame for this lack of fundamental
understanding of EVD's physiological characteristics. For the first time, cuttingedge
laboratory equipment has been used to evaluate clinical, epidemiological,
and immunological parameters in a significant number of patients as a result of
the unprecedented scale of the EVD epidemic that swept through West Africa.. View More»
