Abstract

Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever (EHF) has become a public health emergency of international concern which is linear, single stranded, negative strain RNA molecule and has a virally encoded glycoprotein (GP) which was found Zaire in Congo. It is known as zoonotic virus and causes significant morbidity and mortality in primates. Filovirus is transmitted via direct contact with bodily fluids or blood. Treatment of Ebola is not well developed and does not have a possible approved vaccine till now though there are various types of ongoing clinical trials research has been worked out. Since from previous research it shows us that, filovirus is currently now recognized a dangerous threat to the world. Our main objective of this editorial is to highlight the specific targeted mechanism of actions development for the discovery of anti-Ebola vaccines for the development of treatment strategies to combat Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever
