Ebola Virus Disease: Detection Methods, Transmission, and Analysis

This project provides a comprehensive overview of the Ebola virus disease (EVD), focusing on its characteristics, transmission, and detection methods. The project begins with an introduction to EVD, highlighting its origins and impact, particularly in the African community. It details various methods for detecting the virus, including cell culture, ELISA, conventional RT-PCR, and real-time RT-PCR, explaining the principles, advantages, and disadvantages of each. The project contrasts immunological and nucleic acid-based methods, discussing their specificity, speed, cost, and accuracy. It also covers the history of Ebola outbreaks, mode of transmission, and the potential risks in different regions. The project references key scientific articles and government resources to support its findings, providing a detailed analysis suitable for understanding the complexities of the Ebola virus and its management.
