Effectiveness of rVSV-ZEBOV vaccination during the 2018-20 Ebola virus disease epidemic in the Democratic Republic of the Congo: a retrospective test-negative study.

open access: yesLancet. Infectious Diseases (Print)
BACKGROUND The recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus-Zaire Ebola virus (rVSV-ZEBOV) vaccine is the only WHO prequalified vaccine recommended for use to respond to outbreaks of Ebola virus (species Zaire ebolavirus) by WHO's Strategic Advisory Group of ...

Remdesivir targets a structurally analogous region of the Ebola virus and SARS-CoV-2 polymerases

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020
Significance Remdesivir is a nucleotide analog prodrug that has been evaluated in humans against acute Ebola virus disease; it also recently received emergency use authorization for treating COVID-19.

A Novel Ebola Virus VP40 Matrix Protein-Based Screening for Identification of Novel Candidate Medical Countermeasures

open access: yesViruses, 2020
Filoviruses, such as Ebola virus and Marburg virus, are of significant human health concern. From 2013 to 2016, Ebola virus caused 11,323 fatalities in Western Africa.

Genomic surveillance elucidates Ebola virus origin and transmission during the 2014 outbreak

open access: yesScience, 2014
Evolution of Ebola virus over time The high rate of mortality in the current Ebola epidemic has made it difficult for researchers to collect samples of the virus and study its evolution. Gire et al.

Clinical Manifestations and Case Management of Ebola Haemorrhagic Fever caused by a newly identified virus strain, Bundibugyo, Uganda, 2007-2008 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
A confirmed Ebola haemorrhagic fever (EHF) outbreak in Bundibugyo, Uganda, November 2007-February 2008, was caused by a putative new species (Bundibugyo ebolavirus). It included 93 putative cases, 56 laboratory-confirmed cases, and 37 deaths (CFR = 25%).

On revealing the gene targets of Ebola virus microRNAs involved in the human skin microbiome [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2018
Ebola virus, a negative-sense single-stranded RNA virus, causes severe viral hemorrhagic fever and has a high mortality rate. Histopathological and immunopathological analyses of Ebola virus have revealed that histopathological changes in skin tissue are

Diagnostics of Ebola virus

open access: yesFrontiers in Public Health, 2023
Ebola is a highly pathogenic virus, which in humans reaches a mortality rate above 50%. Due to a lack of laboratories in territories where Ebola viruses are endemic and the limited number of surveillance programmes, tests for the confirmation of suspected cases of Ebola are often performed in Reference Laboratories.

Postmortem Stability of Ebola Virus

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2015
The ongoing Ebola virus outbreak in West Africa has highlighted questions regarding stability of the virus and detection of RNA from corpses. We used Ebola virus–infected macaques to model humans who died of Ebola virus disease. Viable virus was isolated

Plant phenology supports the multi-emergence hypothesis for ebola spillover events [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Ebola virus disease outbreaks in animals (including humans and great apes) start with sporadic host switches from unknown reservoir species. The factors leading to such spillover events are little explored.
