Ebola

EVD in humans is caused by four of five viruses of the genus Ebolavirus. The four are Bundibugyo virus (BDBV), Sudan virus (SUDV),Taï Forest virus (TAFV) and one simply called Ebola virus (EBOV, formerly Zaire Ebola virus).^[21] EBOV is the only member of the Zaire ebolavirus species and the most dangerous of the known EVD-causing viruses, and is responsible for the largest number of outbreaks.^[22] The fifth virus, Reston virus (RESTV), is not thought to cause disease in humans, but has caused disease in other primates.^[23][24] All five viruses are closely related to marburgviruses.
