Ebola produces serious hemorrhagic fever accompanied by high mortality rates. It spreads mostly via close contact with bodily fluids from those infected. It is found in certain regions of Africa, with outbreaks typically rural settings. Major outbreaks include West Africa’s 2014-2016 epidemic, hitting those three countries. A later outbreak took place in 2020 the DRC. Clinical signs usually emerge in 2-21 days after exposure, such as fever, nausea/vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal discomfort.
