Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Ebola is a virus that causes severe inflammation and tissue damage throughout the body. It is known as a hemorrhagic fever virus, because it can cause problems with the clotting system of the body and lead to internal bleeding, as blood leaks from small blood vessels.

Detailed explanation-2: -How does Ebola cause hemorrhaging? As the virus travels in the blood to new sites, other immune cells called macrophages eat it up. Once infected, they release proteins that trigger coagulation, forming small clots throughout the blood vessels and reducing blood supply to organs.

Detailed explanation-3: -Zaire ebolavirus, Bundibugyo ebolavirus, and Sudan ebolavirus are the three species of ebolaviruses responsible for the larger outbreaks of Ebola disease in Africa. Zaire ebolavirus is the most fatal species.
