Ebola virus is an infectious virus which can cause a severe and often deadly illness known as Ebola hemorrhagic fever). The genus Ebolavirus mainly includes five subtypes, and EVD in humans is caused by four of five viruses: Bundibugyo virus (BDBV), Sudan virus (SUDV), Taï Forest virus (TAFV) and one simply called Ebola virus (EBOV, formerly Zaire Ebola virus). EBOV is the most dangerous of the known EVD-causing viruses. The fifth virus, Reston virus (RESTV), is not thought to cause disease in humans, but in other primates. https://www.creative-diagn...
