PHIL Image 17733

ID#:17733
Description:This photograph was taken in West Africa, and depicts
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Disease
Detective Rebecca, performing the mandatory hand
cleansing at a handwashing station prior to entering an
unknown building. The image was captured during the
2014 Ebola hemorrhagic fever (Ebola HF) outbreak across
the West African nations of Guinea, northern Liberia,
Sierra Leone, and Nigeria.
Ebola hemorrhagic fever (Ebola HF) is one of numerous

Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers. It is a severe, often fatal disease

in humans and nonhuman primates (such as monkeys,

gorillas, and chimpanzees).

Ebola HF is caused by infection with a virus of the family

Filoviridae, genus Ebolavirus. When infection occurs,

symptoms usually begin abruptly. The first Ebolavirus

species was discovered in 1976 in what is now the Democratic

Republic of the Congo near the Ebola River. Since then,

outbreaks have appeared sporadically. See the Flickr site

link below, for additional imagery related to the 2014

Ebola viral outbreak.
