The virus causes a disease called Ebola hemorrhagic (出血的 ) fever. The Ebola virus affects animals and people. It killed more than 200 people in the former Zaire in 1995. This year, the Ebola virus has killed more than 150 people in Uganda. The Ebola virus kills so quickly that the body’ s defense system has no time to act against it. The disease kills fifty to niy percent of the people it infects (感染 ). The disease begins with high body temperature, severe headache and muscle hurting. Then it causes severe bleeding and an failure. Then the victim dies. Doctors say a person with the Ebola virus usually dies within three weeks after being infected. The disease spreads by people touching the body fluids of an infected person. No medicine or treatment now exists for the disease. Recently, however, American researchers announced progress in developing a medicine to prevent Ebola hemorrhagic fever in monkeys. The scientists gave eight monkeys a small but deadly amount of the Ebola virus. They gave an experimental vaccine (疫苗 ) to only four of them. The monkeys that did not receive the vaccine died within a week. The vaccine prevented the disease from developing in the four monkeys that received it. All the four monkeys were healthy six months later. The researchers said this was the first time a vaccine had protected animals similar to humans from the deadly Ebola virus. They will continue to test the vaccine on animals by giving them increasingly strong amounts of the virus. 56. The first symptom of Ebola hemorrhagic fever is ______.
