Conclusion.• In our opinion, the ebola is and will be one

of the deadliest and dangerous diseases in mankind, there are many fields of science trying to find not only a treatment but a cure, implementing scientific methods, testing, analysis, particularly its power to control the disease and prevent more deaths and that the disease is spreading, it is a very worrying situation.
