The virus is usually transmitted either through blood, or through waste. Infection through blood usually takes place if a person consumes infested (受感染的) meat, or even touches it (for example, butchering can also lead to infection). Also, there were cases when people got infected after stepping in waste of infected mammals, mostly bats. The other ways of getting infected is through skin by receiving bodily liquids via tiny openings.
Even though there is no specific cure for Ebola, doctors still try to treat it. In order to diagnose Ebola, doctors usually take tests on such diseases as cholera or malaria, because it is difficult to diagnose Ebola based only on symptoms. After the diagnosis has been made, doctors start treating the symptoms, which includes killing infected cells, electrolytes, blood pressure medication, blood transfusions, oxygen treatment, and so on.
Though Ebola is a highly dangerous disease, it is not likely that it will spread globally. It is most deadly in antisanitary (不卫生的) conditions, which many African countries have an extremely bad reputation for. As for first world countries, even though there is still no universal cure, they are at much lesser risk than African countries. Though the symptoms of Ebola are severe and getting infected is not difficult, with the correct handling of an outbreak, the virus should not be able to spread.
