APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Scientists have not determined the host for Ebola virus, although bats are likely involved and may be the reservoir.

Detailed explanation-2: -Scientists do not know where Ebola virus comes from. Based on similar viruses, they believe EVD is animal-borne, with bats or nonhuman primates being the most likely source. Infected animals carrying the virus can transmit it to other animals, like apes, monkeys, duikers and humans.

Detailed explanation-3: -Filoviruses can cause high morbidity and mortality due to severe disease that commonly involves vomiting, diarrhea, and infrequently hemorrhaging and a comatose state leading to death, also known as Ebola infection.
