Isolation of genetically diverse Marburg viruses from Egyptian fruit bats.

PLoS Pathogens, 2009
In July and September 2007, miners working in Kitaka Cave, Uganda, were diagnosed with Marburg hemorrhagic fever. The likely source of infection in the cave was Egyptian fruit bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus) based on detection of Marburg virus RNA in 31/611

Ebola virus VP30 and nucleoprotein interactions modulate viral RNA synthesis [PDF]

, 2017
Ebola virus (EBOV) is an enveloped negative-sense RNA virus that causes sporadic outbreaks with high case fatality rates. Ebola viral protein 30 (eVP30) plays a critical role in EBOV transcription initiation at the nucleoprotein (eNP) gene, with ...

Structural insights into the mechanism of archaellar rotational switching

Nature Communications, 2022
Signal transduction via phosphorylated CheY is conserved in bacteria and archaea. In this study, the authors employ structural biochemistry combined with cell biology to delineate the mechanism of CheY recognition by the adaptor protein CheF.

Ebola and Marburg virus vaccines [PDF]

Virus Genes, 2017
The filoviruses, Ebola virus (EBOV), and Marburg virus (MARV), are among the most pathogenic viruses known to man and the causative agents of viral hemorrhagic fever outbreaks in Africa with case fatality rates of up to 90%. Nearly 30,000 infections were observed in the latest EBOV epidemic in West Africa; previous outbreaks were much smaller ...
