What makes Ebola virus became so dangerous is its ability to breed. This virus can agglutinate blood cells, then this condition can inhibit blood flowing to other organs. If the organs lack of blood, it will cause some damages. After attacking the blood, ebola virus also attacks other organs, such as kidney, brain, intestine, liver and so on. Many of ebola patients died because of kidney failure.

Very Fast Transmission

Ebola virus transmission can occur from a contact of body fluids, blood, and all the things that have been used by patient. Therefore, ebola patients must be isolated in order to avoid a direct contact with other people. The medical teams who handle the patients also have to wear special cloth in order to prevent the spread of the virus. Currently, a citizen of the United States has been infected with ebola. Indonesian Health Ministry itself has issued a travel warning for the people who will visit the countries of Guinea, Sierra and Liberia.
