Stock photography of a heavily protected technician is shown discarding blood specimens collected during the Ebola outbreak in Zaire, 1976. Researchers hurried to identify the cause of this epidemic, pinpoint its source, and halt its spread. The disease became known as “Ebola hemorrhagic fever”, named for the nearby "Ebola" river, and "hemorrhagic" because of the massive internal bleeding often caused by this viral pathogen.
