Main articles: Ebolavirus (taxonomic group) and Ebola virus (specific virus) Ebola virus disease in humans is caused by four of five viruses in the genus Ebolavirus. The four are Bundibugyo virus (BDBV), Sudan virus (SUDV), Taï Forest virus (TAFV), and one called, simply, Ebola virus (EBOV, formerly Zaire Ebola virus).[19] Ebola virus is the only member of the Zaire ebolavirus species and the most dangerous of the known EVD-causing viruses, as well as being responsible for the largest number of outbreaks.[20] The fifth virus, Reston virus (RESTV), is not thought to cause disease in humans, but has caused disease in other primates.[21][22] These five viruses are closely related to marburgviruses.[19]
