Abstract The purpose of my project is to find out why our Immune System fails against Ebola. My project explains how the virus disables the cellular processes of the host cells. The implication of this knowledge helps us appreciate research efforts behind finding a cure for Ebola. I also want to educate others about the deadly disease and the importance of washing hands and regular checkups.
