This colorized transmission electron micrograph shows some of the ultrastructural morphology of an Ebola virus virion. Ebola virus disease is a severe, often-fatal disease in people and in monkeys, gorillas and chimpanzees that has appeared sporadically since its initial recognition in 1976. The disease is caused by infection with Ebola virus, named after a river in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, formerly Zaire, in Africa, where it was first recognized. The virus is one of two members of a family of RNA viruses called the Filoviridae. CDC photo by microbiologist Frederick A. Murphy, National Center for Infectious Diseases, Special Pathogens Branch
