El virus del Ébola causa en el ser humano la enfermedad homónima (antes conocida como fiebre hemorrágica del Ébola). Los brotes de enfermedad por el virus del Ébola (EVE) tienen una tasa de letalidad que puede llegar al 90%. [...] El género Ebolavirus es, junto con los géneros Marburgvirus y Cuevavirus, uno de los tres miembros de la familia Filoviridae (filovirus). [...] El virus del Ébola se introduce en la población humana por contacto estrecho con órganos, sangre, secreciones u otros líquidos corporales de animales infectados.

OBS

virus Ébola: El virus del Ébola, causante de una enfermedad caracterizada por una ‘fiebre hemorrágica muy grave y fulminante’, recibe su nombre del río de la República Democrática del Congo en el que se aisló por primera vez. Por ello, se recomienda escribirlo con el artículo determinado en masculino como todos los nombres de ríos (virus del Ébola, no virus de Ébola), aunque, por influencia del inglés, aparece en ocasiones sin la preposición (virus Ébola), uso este que se desaconseja en español.

Hot water sub-atmospheric cycle... Only one case of this cycle is known to the author, namely at Kiabutkwa, in the province of Katanga, Zaire... where a small British-made 220 kW power plant was put into service as long ago as 1953. It is believed to be no longer in use. This plant used hot spring water at 91°C which was sprayed into a chamber at a low pressure of 0. 3 ata, and the resulting flash steam passed through a 3-stage low pressure turbine exhausting to a condenser supplied with cooling water at 24°C. The plant was not self-starting, and the vacua in the flash chamber and condenser had first to be established by means of an ejector supplied with steam from an auxiliary wood-fired boiler.
