Out
of
300
persons
infected
by
the
virus,
about
275
died
in
single
village
in
Zaire.
Like
AIDS,
Ebola
virus
may
also
spread
to
other
parts
of
the
world.
Primary
cause
of
the
epidemic
is
said
to
be
ecological
and
environmental
degradation
by
man.
There
are
three
types
of
Ebola
virus,
(i)
Ebola
Zaire,
the
most
deadly
that
broke
out
in
1976,
(ii)
Ebola
Sudan,
isolated
around
the
same
time,
and
(iii)
Ebola
Reston,
appeared
in
quarantines
of
USA.
So
for
two
epidemics
originated
in
hospitals
with
poor
hygiene.
The
use
of
contaminated
needles
is
believed
to
be
the
most
important
factor
in
the
outbreak
of
this
disease.
In
the
latest,
10
April
1995
epidemic
a
surgical
patient
became
infected
by
medical
personnel.
