Ebola, previously known as Ebola hemorrhagic fever, is a rare and deadly disease caused by infection with one of the Ebola virus strains. Ebola can cause disease in humans and nonhuman primates (monkeys, gorillas, and chimpanzees).Ebola is caused by infection with a virus of the family Filoviridae, genus Ebolavirus. There are five identified Ebola virus species, four of which are known to cause disease in humans: Ebola virus (Zaire ebolavirus); Sudan virus (Sudan ebolavirus); Taï Forest virus (Taï Forest ebolavirus, formerly Côte d’Ivoire ebolavirus); and Bundibugyo virus (Bundibugyo ebolavirus). The fifth, Reston virus (Reston ebolavirus), has caused disease in nonhuman primates, but not in humans.Ebola viruses are found in several African countries. Ebola was first discovered in 1976 near the Ebola River in what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Since then, outbreaks have appeared sporadically in Africa.The natural reservoir host of Ebola virus remains unknown. However, on the basis of evidence and the nature of similar viruses, researchers believe that the virus is animal-borne and that bats are the most likely reservoir. Four of the five virus strains occur in an animal host native to Africa.

El chikungunya es un virus que causa fiebre alta, dolor de cabeza, dolores en las articulaciones y dolor muscular, unos tres o siete días después de ser picado por un mosquito infectado. Aunque la mayoría de los pacientes tienden a sentirse mejor en los siguientes días o semanas, algunas personas pueden desarrollar dolores en las e inflamación en las articulaciones de manera crónica. La enfermedad rara vez puede causar la muerte, pero el dolor en las articulaciones puede durar meses e incluso años para algunas personas. Las complicaciones son más frecuentes en niños menores de 1 año y en mayores de 65 años y/o con enfermedades crónicas (diabetes, hipertensión, etc). No existe un tratamiento específico ni una vacuna disponible para prevenir la infección de este virus.

"There are more than a dozen Ebola drugs in development, but none have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Several of these have been approved for emergency use in the current crisis. One of these, ZMapp, has been used on at least two patients in the United States, but there were no more doses available as of early October. The W.H.O. suggests that blood from Ebola survivors might be used to treat others, but there is no proof that such a treatment alone would work."

Los menores de un año son uno de los grupos de edad con más probabilidades de contagiarse por el virus Chikungunya, por eso conviene identificar la aparición de los síntomas en los niños pequeños y ponerle remedio lo antes posible, ya que puede afectarles de manera severa. Este contagio en los menores suele producirse con más frecuencia debido a que en muchas zonas las siestas durante el día son más habituales a estas edades, o suelen pasar más tiempo jugando al aire libre, lo que hace que los pequeños sean un blanco más fácil para las picaduras de mosquitos infectados. Igualmente, el contagio puede producirse en bebés si la embarazada está infectada en las fechas próximas al parto. En estos casos la enfermedad suele dar la cara al quinto día de vida del recién nacido. Uno de los signos del Chikungunya que se presenta de manera más evidente en los niños son las erupciones cutáneas, ya que más que sarpullidos, en este caso tienen un aspecto más similar a las ampollas. También puede dar la impresión de que el niño se encuentre hinchado, muestre un carácter irritado o no tenga apetito. Incluso que sus ojos parezcan inflamados. Ante la aparición de alguno de estos síntomas, y sobre todo fiebre alta y dolor articular, con cansancio evidente del niño, acudan a su médico para prevenir o ser diagnosticados correctamente.

Outcomes of this is that poor people have been dying and the virus is spreading the outcomes of this in the future may cause an outbreak killing more poor people
-
their are a lot of different opinions for example some people really donnot care about poor people dying and others do care about poor people dying.
-
In this current event my opinion is that it is really important that poor people are dying because the less people there are the economy can lower for example who is going to work on farms and without farms means no food can be produced
