Abstract

Ebola virus disease (Ebola hemorrhagic fever) first appeared in 1976 with two concurrent outbreaks of acute viral hemorrhagic fever involving 284 cases (151 deaths [53%]) centred in Nzara, Sudan (1), and 318 cases (280 deaths [88%]) in Yambuku (near the Ebola River), Democratic Republic of Congo (2). Since these original cases, there have been approximately 20 other outbreaks occurring through to 2013, involving nearly 2500 cases in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Sudan, Gabon, Côte d’Ivoire, Uganda and the Republic of the Congo.
