I-Zaire eyomisiwe ngeqhwa kanye ne-Sudan Ebolavirus Nucleic Acid

I-Ebolavirus ingeye-Filoviridae, okuyigciwane le-RNA elingenayo imigqa eyodwa elingakahlukaniswa. Ama-virus ayimicu emide enobude obumaphakathi be-virion obungu-1000nm kanye nobubanzi obungu-100nm. I-genome ye-Ebolavirus iyi-RNA engenayo imigqa engakahlukaniswa enobukhulu obungu-18.9kb, equkethe amaprotheni ayi-7 ahlelekile kanye neprotheni eyodwa engeyona eyakhekile. I-Ebolavirus ingahlukaniswa ngezinhlobo ezifana ne-Zaire, i-Sudan, i-Bundibugyo, i-Tai Forest kanye ne-Reston. Phakathi kwazo, uhlobo lwe-Zaire kanye nohlobo lwe-Sudan kubikwe ukuthi lubangela ukufa kwabantu abaningi ngenxa yokutheleleka. I-EHF (i-Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever) yisifo esithathelwanayo esibangelwa ukopha okubukhali esibangelwa yi-Ebolavirus. Abantu batheleleka kakhulu ngokuthintana noketshezi lomzimba, uketshezi kanye nendle yeziguli noma izilwane ezithelelekile, futhi izimpawu zemitholampilo ikakhulukazi umkhuhlane ophumayo, ukopha kanye nomonakalo wezitho eziningi. I-EHF inezinga eliphezulu lokufa elingu-50%-90%. Njengamanje, izindlela zokuxilonga i-Ebolavirus ikakhulukazi ziyizivivinyo zelebhu, okuhlanganisa izici ezimbili: ukutholwa kwe-etiological kanye nokutholwa kwe-serological. Ukutholwa kwe-etiological kufaka phakathi ukuthola ama-antigen egciwane kumasampula egazi yi-ELISA, ukuthola ama-nucleic acid ngezindlela zokukhulisa njenge-RT-PCR, njll., kanye nokusebenzisa amaseli i-Vero, i-Hela, njll. ukuze kuhlukaniswe igciwane futhi kukhuliswe. Ukutholwa kwe-serological kufaka phakathi ukuthola ama-antibodies e-Serum ethize IgM ngokubamba i-ELISA, kanye nokuthola ama-antibodies e-Serum ethize IgG yi-ELISA, i-immunofluorescence, njll.
