    Author: Bajpai S, Nadkar MY.
    Journal: J Assoc Physicians India; 2014 Sep; 62(9):818-22. PubMed ID: 26259318.
    Abstract:
    Ebola viruses are the causative agents of a severe form of viral haemorrhagic fever in man, designated Ebola haemorrhagic fever, and are endemic in regions of central Africa. The recent west African outbreak of Ebolavirus has brought this filoviral infection again in limelight, Indian government has issued guidelines to various airports to screen travelers coming from Africa and middle east Haj pilgrims to keep a check on this highly virulent infection. This viral hemorrhagic disease has remained confined majorly to Africa but its high outbreak potential makes it essential for all infectious disease clinicians and people dealing with travel medicine to be cautious. Management of these patients with symptomatic therapy is the current strategy which is followed. There is absence of any effective vaccine so further research is warranted in this direction.
