Ebola virus disease (EVD), formerly known as Ebola haemorrhagic fever, is a severe, often fatal illness in humans.
As a Science Undergraduate, I remembered this virus (and others) being taught in one of my VIROLOGY classes whilst at LASU (Lagos State University) by our Professor Lecturer in the 90s. We had a lot of fun using the names of different viruses back them to call our colleagues just to remember these names during the course examinations. Little did we know that the Ebola virus will cause so much devastation in West African countries and around the world.
Whilst the Nigerian declaration is good news, we will continue to pray, support and encourage the support around the world to get rid of the Ebola virus.
