humanity. The origin of Ebola is unknown, scientists considered the Ebola virus
is transmitted from animals to humans. The species Zaire ebolavirus (EBOV) is
the most lethal, with case fatality rates of 70–90% if left untreated. Zaire ebolavirus (EBOV) is responsible for
the majority of recorded Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) outbreaks. Fever, severe
headaches and joint pain, weakness and fatigue, soar throat and loss of
appetite are some common symptoms of Ebola virus infections. The lack of an
effective treatment for Ebola is the main factor driving the worldwide market
for Ebola vaccines, making a cure one of the most urgent and financially
rewarding global needs. To produce an effective Ebola vaccine various
components are used such as an immunologic adjuvant that enhances the magnitude,
induction or durability of antigen-specific immunogenicity. It is used in
combination with specific vaccine antigens, adenoviridae, Vesiculovirus and glycoprotein
to produce vaccines for the Ebola virus. For instance, the ChAd3-EBO-Z Ebola vaccine
consists of a recombinant replication-defective Chimpanzee adenovirus type 3
(ChAd3) derived vector encoding the Ebola virus Zaire (EBOV-Z) glycoprotein. Between
23 April and 3 July 2022, a total of 5 (4 confirmed and 1 probable) cases of
EVD, including 5 deaths (case fatality ratio 100%), were reported from 3 health
