Ebola virus biology

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