Introduction
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. There are five known Ebola species within the family Filoviridae and all of the species within the family cause varying degrees of viral hemorrhagic fever illnesses.
