Abstract

Ebola is a public health problem and a global monster currently ravaging many nations of the world especially West Africa. Ebola viruses are highly pathogenic, exotic agents that can cause severe hemorrhagic fever disease in human and/or nonhuman primates. Ebola is a member of the negativestranded RNA virus family Filoviridae. Ebola is a very deadly virus. A comparison of gene content and genome architecture of Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever, Marburg virus, HIV, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, Hepatitis D, Hepatitis E; major, eight related pathogens with different life cycles and disease pathology, revealed a conserved core protein sequence of genes in large syntenic polycistronic gene clusters. In this paper, we highlight the genetics of the Ebola genome with the genome of seven other viruses to identify points of significant similarities and disparities.
