May I also ask...

Why is it "El" and not "Lo" or "Le" or "A"?

Ébola is feminine, but in Spanish when the first syllable is stressed or with 'tilde' we use 'El' el ëbola, el águila, etc.
We use lo to denote abstract names , lo bello, lo bueno, also as a direct object o complement, le indirect object or complement, an 'a' this preposition placed before a noun of .person, animal or personified object is a direct object.
