Ebola is a rare but highly dangerous viral disease that causes severe bleeding, organ failure, and high death rates in humans. First identified in Central Africa in 1976 near the Ebola River in present-day Democratic Republic of the Congo, the virus spreads through direct contact with infected bodily fluids. Ebola outbreaks have mainly occurred in African countries and are considered major public health emergencies due to the disease’s rapid transmission and deadly impact.
