About Ebola Ebola is a serious and frequently fatal viral illness caused by a group of viruses called orthoebolaviruses, previously referred to as ebolavirus. It is a highly infectious disease that affects both humans and non-human primates such as monkeys and chimpanzees. The disease was first detected in 1976 in regions of southern Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Ebola outbreaks mainly occur in remote areas of Central and West Africa. It is classified as a hemorrhagic fever because the virus damages the body’s blood-clotting mechanism, which can result in internal bleeding due to leakage from small blood vessels.
