 Ebola en dos minutos

¿Cómo se contagia el ébola y cómo no?

El virus del ébola no se transmite por el aire, ni por el agua, ni por mordeduras de insectos que hayan picado a enfermos. El contagio solo se produce por contacto directo entre personas a traves de la sangre, el sudor, la saliva y cualquier otro fluido. Las secreciones corporales también pueden encontrarse en objetos contaminados. Aunque el virus no se encuentra en el aire, si un enfermo de ébola estornuda o tose cerca de alguien, puede infectarle si ese fluido cae en los ojos, la boca o la nariz. Acceder a mas informacion.

¿Cuáles son los síntomas del virus?

El periodo de incubación —o intervalo de tiempo que puede transcurrir desde la infección hasta la aparición de los síntomas— oscila entre los 2 y 21 días. Para mas informacion pinche aqui.
