Item
Title
Zaire ebolavirus
Description
Due to the high fatality rate (83-90%) and lack of a reliable vaccine, Zaire ebolavirus is listed as a CDC Category A Bioterrorism Agent and a WHO Risk Group 4 Pathogen. These are the highest ratings for a pathogen and are given to agents that cause life-threatening disease, can be readily transmitted to others, and for which preventive vaccines and medical cures are not yet available.
