Yes, Ebola can be prevented through a combination of public health measures, infection control, and vaccination. Preventive strategies include avoiding contact with the blood or bodily fluids of infected people or animals, using protective equipment in health care settings, safely handling and burying the bodies of victims, and isolating infected patients to reduce transmission. Vaccines are also available for some Orthoebolavirus species, particularly the Zaire strain, and have been used successfully to help contain outbreaks. Early detection, contact tracing, and rapid response by health authorities are critical for preventing wider spread.
