2. An infection is the entry and development of an infectious agent in the body of a person or animal. In an apparent "manifest" infection, the infected person outwardly appears to be sick. In an apparent infection, there is no outward sign that an infectious agent has entered that person at all. For example, although humans have become infected with Ebola-Reston, a species of Ebola virus, they have not shown any sign of illness. By contrast, in recorded outbreaks of Ebola hemorrhagic fever caused by Ebola-Zaire, another species of Ebola virus, severe illness followed infection with the virus, and a great proportion of the case-patients died. Infection should not be confused with disease.
