Ebola virus structure,computer artwork. This virus has a central core containing single-stranded RNA (ssRNA,yellow) with a surrounding nucleocapsid (purple). This is further enclosed in a matrix protein layer (red) and envelope (green). On the viral surface are trimeric transmembrane glycoproteins (pink) that facilitate the entry of the virus into a host cell. This virus is the cause of ebola virus disease in humans and nonhuman primates. It is a severe and often fatal disease with symptoms including fever,fatigue,muscle aches,vomiting,diarrhoea and haemorrhaging (internal bleeding). There is no cure,but around three-quarters of patients can recover if provided with sufficient medical support | |
