Article Synopsis
- Ebola virus disease (EVD) is a serious illness, and prevention is crucial, particularly in high-risk areas like the Baka community in Cameroon, where the rVSV-EBOV vaccine is not widely available.
- A study involving 510 participants revealed that, despite 83.3% having heard of EVD, 71% did not understand its cause, with many misconceptions about transmission methods, and knowledge varied significantly based on education, occupation, and ethnicity.
- Most participants were at high risk of EVD exposure due to practices like bush meat consumption and traditional health behaviors, indicating a need for targeted health education and preventive measures in the community.

It is one of the public health problem worldwide and is the principal cause of parenterally transmitted non-A, non-B hepatitis.
