The biosafety level of Ebola virus is level 4 (AIDS is level 3, SARS is level 3, and the higher the level, the stricter the protection). The incubation period of the virus can reach 2 to 2 1 day, but usually it is only 5 to 10 day.
Ebola virus is a highly dangerous pathogen, so it must be isolated and identified in special experimental facilities. In African epidemic areas, the diagnosis is mainly made by detecting the specific IgM and IgG antibodies of Ebola virus and checking the virus antigen or nucleic acid.
