Ebola virus disease
Ebola virus disease (EVD), formerly known as Ebola hemorrhagic fever, is a severe and often fatal illness caused by infection with the Ebola virus. Outbreaks of EVD have occurred primarily in remote villages in Central and West Africa, with sporadic outbreaks in other regions. Understanding the causes, symptoms, prevention, and treatment of Ebola virus disease is crucial for effective management and containment of outbreaks.
