Ebolavirus can cause a highly fatal and panic-generating human disease which may jump from bats to other mammals and human. High viral loads in body fluids allow efficient transmission by contact. Lack of effective antivirals, vaccines and public health infrastructures in parts of Africa make it difficult to health workers to contain the outbreak.
埃博拉病毒可引发一种极具致命性且令人恐慌的人类疾病,这种疾病可能会从蝙蝠传播至其他哺乳动物及人类。体液中高病毒载量使得通过接触实现高效传播。非洲部分地区缺乏有效的抗病毒药物、疫苗及公共卫生基础设施,这使得卫生工作者难以控制疫情爆发。
