A new strain of the deadly Ebola virus has been discovered near Uganda. Ebola is one of the deadliest and most terrifying viruses on the planet.

The new strain of Ebola has infected 51 people and killed 16 in an area near Uganda’s border with Democratic Republic of Congo, U.S. health experts said.

Ugandan health officials have said the virus appears to be unusually mild, but Ksiazek said it is not yet clear if this is the case. He said experts need to check to see how many diagnosed patients are still alive.

There are no known cures or treatments for the Ebola Virus. An infected person typically dies a horrifying death in which the internal organs liquefy causing the patient to “bleed out.”

    Ebola is deadlier than any other virus. This article is useful. I noticed a similar article that talks about the latest outbreak and a video clip representing Ebola.

    Hope the virus is eradicated soon.
