Abstract

Ebola virus is a highly contagious haemorrhagic fever which has lead to the recent destruction in parts of Africa where nearly half of the population of Africa has been eroded. While measures were taken to halt the transmission if the disease, the modes of transmission of the virus were detected. Fomites were seen as the physical modes of transmission from the infected wards of the ebola patients while the bodily fluids in the fomites are responsible for the healthy human to be infected. The fluids such as tears, blood and urine are secreted from the organs such as eyes, heart and kidney where they are filled within those organs which leads to the damage of the entire organs. Other fluids such as the nasal blood, breast milk and sweat are from nose, gonads and skin while saliva, semen, vomit, sputum, stool are also responsible for the transmission of the ebola virus. The fomites such as the doctor's blood stained gloves and the bloody intravenous insertion site carry the ebola virus through the bodily fluids. This helps in preventing the wide spread of the fatal haemorrhagic fever, ebola.
