Introduction

Workers from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) demonstrating proper attire worn in BSL-4 labs.

The Ebola virus is a severe human disease that is mainly a problem within central Africa. Ebola is considered a Biosafety level 4 (BSL-4) agent. This indicates it as among the most threatening agents that exist in the world today. Agents within this category pose severe threats to human health and can be fatal due to the lack of treatments and/or available vaccines.
