how common is ebola virus infeaction?
88589
In some regions of the globe ebola is more common than in others.\n\nAn adequate guess would be that if you live in an urban area of the United States of America your chances of being infected with ebola are about 2 to the power of 52 to one.\n\nwhich in context is much lower than your chances of being struck by lightning . . .!

Could be an infection.

not many places actually reporting cases of flu yet. Probably normal cold virus- treatment is the same at this stage anyway.

Cause details for Ebola: The disease is caused by infection with Ebola virus, named after a river in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (formerly Zaire) in Africa, where it was first recognized. The virus is one of two members of a family of RNA viruses called the Filoviridae. Three of the four species of Ebola virus identified so far have caused disease in humans: Ebola-Zaire, Ebola-Sudan, and Ebola-Ivory Coast. The fourth, Ebola-Reston, has caused disease in nonhuman primates, but not in humans.

It is a side affect if you ask your doctor he will tell you the same thing but they have medication to reduce the outbreaks = less pain during intercource less often

UNAids says there are an estimated 40.3 million people currently living with the virus across the world, with almost 5 million infected in 2005.

Ross River Virus (RRV) disease is the commonest and most widespread arboviral disease in Australia, with sometimes thousands of clinical cases occurring in epidemics. Disease notifications in Australia average about 4,800 per year.\n\nFirst isolated from Ochlerotatus vigilax (previously called Aedes vigilax) mosquitoes collected in 1959 near the Ross River in Townsville, the cause of Ross River virus (RRV) disease was confirmed in 1971 by its isolation from the blood of an Aboriginal boy with the disease. \n\nPyrexia and other constitutional symptoms are usually slight. A rash can occur up to two weeks before, or after, other symptoms. Absent in about one-third of cases, the rash is variable in distribution, character and duration and may be associated with buccal and palatal enanthems. Rheumatic symptoms are present in most patients except for the few who present with rash alone: these consist of arthritis or arthralgia primarily affecting the wrist, knee, ankle and small joints of the extremities. Prolonged symptoms are common. In some cases, there may be remissions and exacerbations of decreasing intensity for up to a year. Symptoms persisting longer than a year may be due to other reasons. Cervical lymphadenopathy occurs frequently, and paraesthesiae and tenderness of the palms and soles are present in a small percentage of cases. \n\nSerology showing a significant rise in antibody titre to RRV. The virus may be isolated from the blood of acutely ill patients in the early period of the disease. Virological tests are necessary to distinguish RRV disease from other causes of arthritis. In the event of a local outbreak clinical diagnosis may be sufficient, but Barmah Forest virus disease should be considered. \n\nLaboratory evidence \nisolation of RRV from clinical material; or \ndetection of RRV by NAT; or \na significant rise in IgG to RRV; or \ndetection of RRV specific IgM \nIncubation period \nUsually three to 14 days. \n\nPublic Health Significance and Occurrence \nThe incidence of clinical infection varies dramatically between endemic areas and epidemic areas. Clinical features of infection are rare before puberty, after which the disease has a similar pattern at all ages. The disease can cause incapacity and inability to work for two to three months. About one-quarter of patients have rheumatic symptoms that persist for up to a year but rarely more. \nRRV disease is the commonest and most widespread arboviral disease in Australia, with sometimes thousands of clinical cases occurring in epidemics. Disease notifications in Australia average about 4,800 per year. Major outbreaks have occurred in all parts of Australia, chiefly in the period from January to May. RRV disease cases in the SW of WA generally occur from September to May and in the north of WA the risk is greatest during or just after the wet season. RRV has been detected (and probably transmitted to humans) in most major metropolitan areas of Australia, including Perth, Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. Epidemics usually follow heavy rains or after high tides which inundate salt marshes or coastal wetlands. Sporadic cases occur in mainland and coastal regions of Australia and Papua New Guinea at other times. In 1979, a major outbreak of RRV disease (probably exported from Australia) occurred in Fiji and spread to other Pacific islands, including Tonga, the Cook Islands and Samoa. \n\nThe virus is maintained in a primary mosquito-mammal cycle involving macropods (kangaroos and wallabies), possibly other marsupials (eg possums), flying fox and native rodents. A human-mosquito cycle may occur in explosive outbreaks. Horses, which may act as amplifier hosts, appear to develop joint and nervous system disease after infection with RRV. Fruit bats might act as vertebrate hosts in some areas. Vertical transmission in desiccation-resistant eggs of Ochlerotatus spp. mosquitoes, may be a mechanism to enable the virus to persist in the environment for long periods, explain

The reason for the spread of HIV, where ever a person might live, is pretty much the people's own actions.  With the info we have now, barring blood transfusions (and even then rare since blood is tested) and freaky things like a maniac poking someone with an infected needle, the disease is almost 100% preventable. It is quite simple.  Don't hop into bed with everyone you see.  Don't do intravenous drugs.  How hard is that?

Outbreaks can happen at any time not only when you have intercourse.   \n\nSometimes outbreaks can occur and not be noticed by the individual who has the condition - this is fine but it also means that you can infect another person and not be aware of it.

Sure. It's not uncommon. The percentages change but the last one I recall was that about 1 in 3 people have it again within 6 months. Forgive me if my recall is not entirely correct but the answer is definitely yes.

What exactly is your question, whether there are any?  there are people infected with HIV/AIDS everywhere

I do not know all the organs or all the systems that this virus affects (infects), but speaking as a human, it is the closest I have ever come to praying for death.  I can say emphatically, you do not want the flu.

No one has any way of knowing. There may be hundreds or thousands of people walking around with the virus in them but who show no symptoms. This is common in many viral infections.

Ebola Zaire, but there are others which can be pretty gruesome to certain percentages.\n\nSome small percentage of people survives every thing owing to age, strength and vitality, and genetic variabilty (among the humans).  \n\nYou can google this virus, CCHF, and others, but you will need to brace yourself.\n\nAlso check out Marburg virus or fever.\n\nYou are a good candidate for book, THE COMING PLAGUE\nby Laurie Garrett, available in paperback.  Someone at Amazon.com may have used copy for a few dollars.\n\nEdit:  Rabies is well understood.  We know the source(s) and there is a vaccine which works if promptly administered.  Control measures are in force to protect dogs and cats from becoming sources.\n\nOn the other hand, there is no vaccine for Ebola.  Bats are suspected, but nothing is known for absolute sure.  It strikes suddenly and out of the dark and spreads from person to person rapidly, often where precautions are in force.  It is almost always fatal and the trip towards death is rapid and gruesome.  The related viruses are similar but can have somewhat higher survival rates, still very much the smaller percentage.

Malaria, E-coli, Ebola, and AIDS.  I'm sure there are many more, but those are the biggies.

Most of these have deadly viruses. You have to be exceedingly careful.
