SUMMARY
The Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) is primarily transmitted through direct contact with the bodily fluids of infected individuals. The ebolavirus employs multiple mechanisms to evade the host's immune system, effectively overwhelming normal immune responses. Key changes occur at the cellular level, impacting DNA and leading to severe physiological consequences. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for developing effective containment strategies and treatments.
