Yep it takes 2-21 days to take effect depending on how you contracted it.

3. Which of the following ways of contraction would cause you to start showing symptoms sooner?

As it says is Q2, when you show symptoms depends on how you contract it and by the blood is the most dangerous way. Next would be through sex, then kissing, and you can't catch Ebola through the air.

It was magnified at an 160,000x magnification.

Although no humans have died from this it is still possible for them to contract it. The 4 cases who did just got sick from it but it is not a threat like the other 3 strains.

17. In the first case of Ebola Ivory coast what percent of people infected died?

Answer: 0

In the first case only one person was infected and they recovered.

18. What book by Richard Preston is about the Ebola Virus?

Answer: 'The Hot Zone'

I read this book and found it quite interesting. 'The Cobra Event' is also a book by Richard Preston about a biological weapon. That is a good book too. The only difference is that 'The Hot Zone' is factual where as 'The Cobra Event' isn't.

19. Ebola kills 100% of its victims.

At best Ebola only kills about 90 percent of its victims. I think its fair to say that Rabies and AIDS are probably the 2 deadliest because they kill 100 percent of those infected.

25. If you contract Ebola and survive it your body has made antibodies inside you that can prevent you from contracting it again.

Answer: True

In Africa they are experimenting with taking blood from people who have survived and injecting it into people who have it to see if they live. This may be a cure if proven to work.
