Ebola Virus Disease

An organism of a particular biological taxon that is the site of reproduction of an organism of a different taxon.

host organism

Host

Homo sapiens

Infection by an etiologic agent that can be passed between animals and humans.

Zoonotic Infection

Zoonotic infection

A disease is a disposition (i) to undergo pathological processes that (ii) exists in an organism because of one or more disorders in that organism.

disease

Disease

A disease whose physical basis is an infectious disorder

infectious disease

Infectious Disease

A viral hemorrhagic fever that is caused by the Ebola virus, which is transmitted by contact with infected animals or humans; it is characterized by high fever, unexplained bleeding, and a high mortality rate.

Ebola hemorrhagic fever

Ebola

A count of individuals in a population who meet the criteria of some case definition during some time interval.

count of disease cases

Case Count

A count of deaths in a population that is the number of deaths that occurred during a proper part of a reference temporal interval.

incident death count

Incident Death Count

viral Infectious disease

Viruses Infection

A count of cases in a population that is the number of individuals who come to meet the criteria of some case definition during a proper part of a reference temporal interval.

incident case count

Incident Case Count

A genus in the family FILOVIRIDAE consisting of several distinct species of Ebolavirus, each containing separate strains. These viruses cause outbreaks of a contagious, hemorrhagic disease (HEMORRHAGIC FEVER, EBOLA) in humans, usually with high mortality.

Ebolavirus

 A count of simulated or physical individuals in a population.

Population count

Population Count

A data set that is about either some mortality rate or the death events themselves of some individuals of a given population of a particular biological taxon.

mortality data

Mortality

Vaccine preventable diseases are those infectious diseases that can be prevented by vaccination

vaccine-preventable Disease

Vaccine-Preventable Disease

A viral infectious disease caused by RNA viruses in the Arenaviridae, Bunyaviridae, Filoviridae, or Flaviviridae family, and characterized by a severe multisystem syndrome, with damage to the vascular system and hemorrhaging.

viral hemorrhagic fever

Viral Hemorrhagic Fever

Minute infectious agents whose genomes are composed of DNA or RNA, but not both. They are characterized by a lack of independent metabolism and the inability to replicate outside living host cells.

Viruses

An organism of a particular biological taxon that is the bearer of an infectious dispositions towards an organism of a different particular biological taxon.

pathogen

Pathogen

A data item that is an aggregate of other data items of the same type that have something in common. Averages and distributions can be determined for data sets.
