The Ebola virus (EBOV) was named after the Ebola River in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) (previously Zaire). All afflicted nations reported a total of 27,741 EVD cases and 11,284 deaths as of July 22, 2015. Prior to the 2013-2016 EBOV epidemic, the number of confirmed human cases in EBOV outbreaks was very low, with no more than 425 cases each outbreak between 1976 and 2009, compared to an estimated 28,646 cases between 2013 and 2016. Monkey pox was initially found in 1958, when two outbreaks of a pox-like disease occurred in research colonies of monkeys, hence the name. SARS is predominantly a respiratory disease, with the maximum concentration of SARS-CoV found in the respiratory tract, though this virus is also identifiable in other organs and tissues, as well as in stool. COVID-19 affected almost all countries altogether and numerous innovative and developing technologies are mandatory to tackle various complications caused by the extent of the epidemic in the health organizations.
