QUÈQUICOM: "EBOLA: VIRUS TREAHT"
"Ebola: the virus threat," the educational program Quèquicom of Television of Catalonia that was broadcast on Tuesday 11 November, with the participation of experts Dr. Albert Bosch (Faculty of Biology, University of Barcelona, )Dr Jordi Serra-Cobo (Faculty of Biology and IRBio), Dr. Antoni Trilla (UB Medical School and Hospital Clinic) and Dr. Josep Maria Gatell(Faculty of Medicine-University of Barcelona and Hospital Clinic), among other experts.
Fighting Ebola is a lonely battle against time. This virus is a real biological pump. Fools the immune system and rid the veins. And there is no other choice than to manufacture antibodies by the patient. "Quèquicom" decrypts all the mysteries of Ebola, a virus that is ravaging Africa and now threatens the Western world. This elongated virus has killed nearly 5,000 people this year. In December there will be the highest peak of infection, according to WHO. This means a rate of between 5,000 and 10,000 per week infected in Africa. Only it measures about 10 microns in length but it is being very dangerous. The outbreak of the Ebola epidemic of 2014 is the deadliest the world has ever known. And the spread of the history of West Africa. Not that contagion has more capacity than other strains of this virus, but now there are more people likely to be infected. The big problem is that it has come to towns and cities. In this program we ask when the first cases appeared in the world Ebola? As this virus infected, people? How can you control the outbreak affecting several African countries? In which case there is no risk of infection? What are the typical symptoms? And what is the weak point of this virus?
