Across
6
Happens because the blood vessels become permeable/damaged/thinner and the body can't continue clotting
7
Because Ebola attacks this part of the body, the stronger it is, the worse the results
8
Ebola is this - a disease transmitted from animals to humans
9
The makeup of the Ebola virus
10
39.5% - suspected/probable/confirmed cases; 74.2% - lab confirmed cases
12
Part of the innate immunity that causes the cytokine storm
15
What is thought to be the main reservoir of the Ebola virus
16
The cells that become infected when they find Ebola in the system and cause T and B cells to die off
17
From the main reservoir, Ebola is spread to this before transmitted to humans
Down
1
The target cells of Ebola within blood vessels that when infected and destroyed/damaged, causes bleeding
2
These are used up because of so much bleeding, therefore the body can't keep up with clotting
3
Humans conducting traditional funeral practices and unprotected health workers can cause this
4
A situation in which excessive cytokine production causes an immune response that can damage organs and possibly lead to death
5
Work with other cells to create an immune response, but when infected, cause internal bleeding and fluid leakage
11
Most effective vaccine for Ebola despite being experimental
13
Uncontrolled, over-abundance of these that disrupts the immune system
14
The body's attempt to clot bleeding; when there is too much clotting, the factors are used up and leads to shock and uncontrolled bleeding
