How does the Ebola affect the tissue?

Ebola virus primarily targets immune cells, particularly macrophages and dendritic cells, leading to their dysfunction and death. This disruption triggers a severe inflammatory response, causing tissue damage and hemorrhaging. The virus also affects endothelial cells, compromising blood vessel integrity, which can result in widespread organ failure. Overall, the tissue damage is a consequence of both direct viral effects and the body's exaggerated immune response.
