|
Ebola virus disease outbreak have been reported sporadically since the first case reported at DR Congo in 1976. Zaire Ebola virus is one of the 6 sub species of Ebola virus which has continued to be epidemic in the last three years at DR Congo. The country is demonstrating control of deadly endemic diseases through the use of the Zaire Ebola virus vaccine and systematic response strategies. Response to the Ebola epidemic basically include control of the moving population, test, tracing of contacts, isolation and treatment, safe funeral, and training of health care worker. Characteristic strategies for Ebola endemic include ring vaccination, mother and child care, and survivor management. There are currently no reports of Ebola virus cases in Korea but the presence of natural host in Africa makes it unpredictable when the Ebola epidemic occurs. Also, the possibility of secondary infection through survivors cannot be ruled out, so symptom monitoring, voluntary report and management for those visited emerging areas are important.
