Summaries don't need to be long to be good! Every exam question was litteraly in here. Just making this summary without really learning resulted in a 16/20 for me. Because it is short, and only relevant stuff it's easy to remember everything

Treatment : Vaccinology :
Patiënts are treated on their symptoms to prevent dead Vaccins existing for Ebola are based on putting the gene for the GP in

Since the last big outbreak in West Afrika, they developed The first vaccin for Ebola was the rVSV-ZEBOV vaccin. They
some monoclonal antibodies against Ebola which actually substituted the GP from vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) with the GP
seem to help. The problem with this is that it needs to be from Ebola. By that Ab can be made in the body against this GP from
injected intravenously. You need a minimal clinical setting EBOV.
for this so doesn’t work in central Afrika. Remdesivir was
also tested for Ebola, but had no success. (big success for
several viruses in vitro, not much in vivo)
Origin and transmission :
The origin is unknown. The virus is transmitted from close contact with an animal and a human and further from human to human
(also by close contact; i.e. contact with fluids)
