  1. Abstract:

    Ebola virus disease (EVD) is caused by the filovirus Ebola virus (EBOV). Although the natural host of EBOV is undefined, a single zoonotic transmission is the probable start of most EVD outbreaks. EVD is characterized by gastrointestinal manifestations and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome and has a high case-fatality rate.
