What is the difference between the Ebola virus and Hemorrhagic Fever?

---

What are the differences and where was each last found? Not only where in the world is it found, but in the body.

I'm in a hurry and dont have time to research it. Thanks.
Oh, its like the same thing. So then i guess the REAL question would be, what is the difference between Ebola/Hemorrhagic Fever and Marburg?
the Ebola viruse CAUSES hemmorhagic fever. It is most prevalent on many parts of the African continent, and it affects the entire body as it is blood born.  (+ info)

what is the difference between ebola and hemorrhagic fever?

---

Hemorrhagic fever= VHF are five distinct families of RNA viruses Arenaviridae,Filoviridae,Bunyaviridae,Togauividae and Flavtviridae. All types can progress to high fevers also bleeding disorders can cause shock and death. Some cause mild illness.
Ebola: this is a group of viruses Filovirdae this is deadly for all humans and animals this disease will kill by shock or organ failure This is a vicious killing disease. Around 1,850 cases with over 1,200 deaths since this was discovered.   (+ info)

Is the Ebola hemorrhagic fever the same thing as the Ebola virus?

---

Please explain in simple-ish terms, I'm in a bit of a hurry. :)
"Ebola haemorrhagic fever" is the disease state caused by the "Ebola virus." Subtle difference, I know. It's analogous to the difference between AIDS and HIV.  (+ info)

what are some interesting facts about ebola hemorrhagic fever?

---

It is thought to be passed by monkeys and is incurable.  (+ info)

Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever?

---

Is there a difference between Ebola Virus and Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever?

Secondly, is is a human disease?
Ebola virus is the name of the virus that causes the EHF.

It is a disease that affects, and can be transmitted by, humans and primates (e.g. gorillas, chimpanzees), and is highly infectious.  (+ info)

What are good websites for the Ebola Fever?

---

I am currently working on a research paper over the Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever, and i'm having trouble finding good reliable sites with all the information on there that i would need to make a bibliography. Please help me out!
I would suggest the centers for disease control and prevention, it has good true info.  (+ info)

Simian Hemorrhagic Fever and Ebola? ?

---

How is Simian Hemorrhagic Fever (SHF), silmiler to and different from Ebola?
SHF is devestating to monkeys but not to people, ebola kills monkeys and people, same with marburg. the symptoms are the same and so is the transmission. they are both filoviruses!  (+ info)

If you have Influenza A H1N1, Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever and Ebola-Reston, in one country. Can they combine?

---

This is the specific scenario in the Philippines and I since I live here, I am very concerned particularly since the H1N1 is spreading fast here and its also the season for Dengue Hemorrhagic fever. Of course, the Ebola Reston virus outbreak was just in the 1st quarter of this year. That said, can any two or all three of these viruses combine and or mutate to produce a deadly strain that could be spread with the relative ease of H1N1? Thanks so much for those who will try to answer.
Thank you for the answers so far. I just had to add this detail. There has already been a case of swine to human transmission here in the Philippines as far as the Ebola Reston Virus is concerned. The WHO article on this can be found here:

http://www.who.int/csr/don/2009_03_31/en/index.html

This is why it concerns me because of our population density and the fact that a very large part of our population has little access to health, water and sanitation facilities.
Virus' don't combine with one another, although you'd be hard pressed to find a virologist who would say that it is "impossible". But it hasn't happened before (that we know of)...

A virus can mutate which will change it's characteristics (ie. it becomes airborne, or becomes capable of infecting a new species such as swine flu jumping to humans) - but you don't really see a virus combine with another virus to create a new one.

That being said, of course Ebola is the most scary of the ones you mentioned (what if it jumped to humans!??!) - especially if it mutated to become airborne. The problem with a virus that is so strong as to kill you within in days is that it actually kills itself. Flu is so successful at spreading because you will usually be infected for up to two weeks before you start to show symptoms, and by then you've passed it around to everyone you know. A virus like Ebola will generally hit hard and fast and the host spends the entire illness in a single room sick and often dies before the virus can find a fresh host - thus ending the chain as quickly as it started.

Virus' combining into a "super strain" or something is a scary scenario - but doubtful it could happen.

Then again, you never say never :O  (+ info)

which system does the ebola hemorrhagic fever infect?

---

please tell me every thing you know about this disease
Can't really pinpoint a system per se; ebola virus multiplies in virtually all tissue in the body, causing severe focal necrosis ('decay') and destruction. Much of this is seen in the liver, and the effects on the different blood cells/system leads to the 'bleeding out of everywhere' that is characteristic of such viral haemorrhagic fevers.

Ebola is highly infectious, spread by direct contact with body fluids/tissue of victims, even after they die.

This is just a brief synopsis, let me know if you want any specific information, since can't really fit 'everything' about the disease here.

Hope this helps.  (+ info)

What are the chances of hemorrhagic fever spreading?

---

The African Ebola virus to be specific.

I know that right now its only in parts of africa (as of most disease are) but there have been outbreaks in the u.s.
should we worry about the outbreaks?
I agree with Kenny. He knows what he's talking about. Listen to him.  (+ info)
