The Ebola virus and it’s close relative the Marburg virus are members of the Filoviridae family. These p://visualscience.ru/en/projects/ebola/poster/viruses are e causative agents of severe hemorrhagic fever, a disease with a fatality rate of up to 90% [12]. The Ebola virus infects mainly the capillary endothelium and several types of immune cells. The symptoms of Ebola infection include maculopapular rash, petechiae, purpura, ecchymoses, dehydration and hematomas [13].
Since Ebola was first described in 1976, there have been several epidemics of this disease. Hundreds of people have died because of Ebola infections, mainly in Zaire, Sudan, Congo and Uganda [14]. In addition, several fatalities have occurred because of accidents in laboratories working with the virus [15]. Currently, a number of scientists claim that terrorists may use Ebola as a biological weapon [14, 16]. MoreHere
Chemical biological warefare and the Crimeana connection:
Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is caused by infection with a tick-borne virus (Nairovirus) in the family Bunyaviridae.
The disease was first characterized in the Crimea in 1944 and given the name Crimean hemorrhagic fever. It was then later recognized in 1969 as the cause of illness in the Congo, thus resulting in the current name of the disease.
