History of Ebola and Its Impact on the Body.

This is an extremely dangerous and deadly virus that can affect both humans and animals. The disease was first recorded in 1976, and unfortunately, since then, many innocent people around the world have lost their lives to this disease every year.

The World Health Organization has expressed deep concern over the severity of this disease. According to data provided by health agencies, the mortality rate among patients infected with Ebola, which was previously 50%, has now risen to a terrifying level of 90%. This is being considered a danger signal for the entire world.

According to various reports currently emerging, hundreds of new patients have been found in many provinces of Congo, and now this threat has started spreading from rural areas to cities. An infected patient of this virus has also been found in the neighboring country of Uganda, due to which the entire health system there has been put on high alert.
