Ebola killed more than 1,500 people in Africa during the
outbreak in summer 2014. The most people who become
infected will not survive. But there are some viruses which
have lower mortality, but kill more people annually than Ebola
does. Here are 5 viruses that can be even more dangerous
than Ebola.
Ebola virus
1. Rabies
Over the latest years rabies became a public threat. This virus
is transmitted to people through salvia of infected animals
(usually, dogs and bats). If a person was bitten, he should
receive the vaccine, which prevents infection. But very often
people may nit realize that they were bitten. Especially in the
case of bats and rats. Less than 5 people in the whole world
are known to have ever survived this disease without receiving
the vaccine. Nearly 55,000 people die of rabies every year in
Africa and Asia., according to the World Health Organization.

2. HIV
According to WHO, 1.6 million people worldwide died of HIV in
2012. 35,3 million people are currently living with HIV. 95% of
new infections occur in sub-Saharan Africa.
This virus attacks immune cells and destroys the immune
system. It is very hard for infected individuals to fight off even
the easiest diseases. However no cure for HIV exists.

3. Influenza
Flu doesn`t sound scary, but it kills much more people
annually than Ebola does. Approximately from 250,000 to
500,000 people die every year. From 3 to 5 million people
become ill. Despite rather low mortality rate, doctors
recommend annual flu shots. Although flu vaccine can`t protect
you from the new kinds of flu virus which can occur any
moment. The most recent influenza pandemic, the “swine flu”
or H1N1 pandemic, killed between 151,700 and 575,400
people globally during 2009 and 2010.

4. Mosquito-borne viruses
Dengue, West Nile and yellow fever spread through the bite of
infected mosquito. Every year more than 50,000 people
worldwide die because of these diseases. Malaria which also
spreads by mosquitos kills more than 60,000 people yearly.

5. Rotavirus
This kind of virus is a very serious problem for the children
worldwide. Nearly 111 million cases of gastroenteritis caused
by rotavirus are reported each year. The majority of infected
are children under the age of 5. Globally 440,000 children die
each year from complications, mostly – dehydration. A
vaccine for rotavirus was made in 1998, but later it was
recalled due to safety concerns. A newer one was made in
2006 and now it is available and recommended for children
ages 2 month and older.

Nice info

like I have already said, Ebola is being blown out of proportion, that's because they have an agenda
