Ebola virus disease is a severe and often fatal illness caused by viruses belonging to the Ebolavirus family. The infection spreads through direct contact with bodily fluids such as blood, saliva, sweat, vomit, urine, or contaminated surfaces. The Bundibugyo strain is considered less deadly than the Zaire Ebola strain, but it can still trigger large outbreaks with significant fatalities if not contained quickly.
