Ebola Virus, TEM
Transmission electron micrograph (TEM) shows a thin section containing the Ebola virus, the causative agent for African Hemorrhagic Fever. Ebola is one of the four known viruses that cause hemorrhagic fever. It is believed to be zoonotic, and native to the African continent. The Ebola pathogen is a member of the Filoviridae family of RNA viruses. It is known to be spread through close contact with an infected host. Mortality rates of an individual with hemorrhagic fever range from 50-90%. Ebola virus disease (EVD), also known as Ebola hemorrhagic fever (EHF) or simply Ebola, is a viral hemorrhagic fever of humans and other primates caused by ebolaviruses. Signs and symptoms typically start between two days and three weeks after contracting the virus with a fever, sore throat, muscular pain, and headaches. Then, vomiting, diarrhea and rash usually follow, along with decreased function of the liver and kidneys. At this time some people begin to bleed both internally and externally.
