Ebola leads to severe hemorrhagic fever with high mortality rates. Transmission occurs chiefly by hands-on contact with bodily fluids from those infected. It is found in certain regions of Africa, as outbreaks often occurring in rural areas. Notable epidemics include the 2014-2016 West African epidemic, affecting Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. Another outbreak was in 2020 in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Clinical signs typically appear in 2-21 days after exposure, such as high fever, nausea/vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach pain. Treatment options use care that supports, such as fluid replacement alongside complication management, as well as experimental therapies plus vaccines.
