Ebola is a viral disease started spread from South Africa. World Health Organization it announced as a global disease. Symptoms start two days to three weeks after contracting the virus. fever , vomit sensation , dehydration are the major problems.  These disease spread through air. Once it infected it can be spread easily.
Preventing Methods:
-->Decreasing the spread of disease from infected animals to humans. This may be done by checking such animals for infection and killing and properly disposing of the bodies if the disease is discovered.
-->Properly cooking meat and wearing protective clothing when handling meat may also be helpful, as are wearing protective clothing and washing hands.
--> wearing mask when going out and be away from the infected one.

Ebola virus infection:
Ebola is a rare but deadly virus that causes bleeding inside and outside the body.
As the virus spreads through the body, it damages the immune system and organs. Ultimately, it causes levels of blood-clotting cells to drop. This leads to severe, uncontrollable bleeding.
Symptoms of Ebola  typically include:

--Fever (greater than 38.6°C or 101.5°F)

--Severe headache

--Muscle pain

--Weakness

--Diarrhea

--Vomiting

--Abdominal (stomach) pain

--Lack of appetite

Symptoms may appear anywhere from 2 to 21 days after exposure to ebolavirus, although 8-10 days is most common.
Some who become sick with Ebola are able to recover. We do not yet fully understand why. However, patients who die usually have not developed a significant immune response to the virus at the time of death.

  1. Pavan, your entry is very informational, but it does not follow the format of an analytical paragraph. You have provided a lot of interesting information about Ebola, but what is your response to the crisis? Also, make sure to link or cite any sources you get information from.
