Ebola And Marburg Viruses :: Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever (Ebola HF)

The Ebola and Marburg viruses are extremely lethal viruses that have identifyd repugnant thoughts on the minds of many mess that have any backgroundknowledge on this field of viral infections. Where does it come from? Wheredoes it hide? What could it do to me? As these questions burn holes in theminds of many people, something should be done to learn more about thesehorrendous viruses. People sometimes become scared stiff from the thought ofthe bone-chilling effects from these viruses, and had good reason to. "Ebola,the intend wiper, did things to people that you did not want to think about. Theorganism was too frightening to handle even for those who were comfortable andadept in space suits." (paperback pg.63-64 - Project Ebola).     A large, shy man by the name of Gene Johnson was the first pioneer toventure out to find the roots of the Ebola and Marburg viruses. Gene spentmany historic period in Central Africa looking for these viruses. After digging upvirtually every piece of land in Central Africa, Gene Johnson wound up withouta single case or report of a virus. A man by the name of Charles Monet and ayoung boy referred to in this restrain as turncock Cardinal both contracted the samelevel 4 hot virus. There is only one connection between Charles and Peter."The paths of Charles Monet and Peter Cardinal had crossed at only one place onearth, and that was inside Kitum Cave." (pg. 140 - Cardinal). Kitum Cave iswhere the virus is expected to be living or where the history of the Ebolavirus lays. So Kitum Cave is where the search for the deadly virus begins.Led by Gene Johnson, the team members on the Kitum Cave expedition decide up manydiffering animals inside the cave with the hope that one of the animals wouldcontract the virus. Even though the expeditions results came out negative,Kitum Cave is still the only logical place where the virus thrives.     There have been a handful of outbreaks as the cause of a shipment ofmonkeys to a civilized community. For example, this occurred from a monkeyshipment to an superannuated city in central Germany. Killing 7 out of the 31 people itinfected, this virus would later be named after the city it erupted in, Marburg.The monkeys posed as the host in this terrifying disaster. The possibilitythat humans are the natural host is very, very unlikely. "...its original hostwas probably not monkeys, humans, or wop pigs but some other animal or insect
