ABSTRACT The coupling of replication and encapsidation in the bipartite plant virus, cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV), has been used to specifically incorporate designer RNA molecules into viral particles via transient expression in Nicotiana benthamiana. This is achieved by placing the desired RNA sequence between the 5′ and 3′ UTRs of CPMV RNA‐2 so that ...

Oral administration of obeldesivir protects nonhuman primates against Sudan ebolavirus
Obeldesivir (ODV, GS-5245) is an orally administered prodrug of the parent nucleoside of remdesivir (RDV) and is presently in phase 3 trials for COVID-19 treatment.

Ebola Virus Localization in the Macaque Reproductive Tract during Acute Ebola Virus Disease. [PDF]
Sexual transmission of Ebola virus (EBOV) has been demonstrated more than a year after recovery from the acute phase of Ebola virus disease (EVD). The mechanisms underlying EBOV persistence and sexual transmission are not currently understood.

Correspondence of Neutralizing Humoral Immunity and CD4 T Cell Responses in Long Recovered Sudan Virus Survivors. [PDF]
Robust humoral and cellular immunity are critical for survival in humans during an ebolavirus infection. However, the interplay between these two arms of immunity is poorly understood.

Epitope-focused immunogen design based on the ebolavirus glycoprotein HR2-MPER region
The three human pathogenic ebolaviruses: Zaire (EBOV), Bundibugyo (BDBV), and Sudan (SUDV) virus, cause severe disease with high fatality rates. Epitopes of ebolavirus glycoprotein (GP) recognized by antibodies with binding breadth for all three ...

Virological diagnosis of Ebolavirus infection
Ebolaviruses, and the other viral causes of haemorrhagic fevers (VHF) have always posed special problems for diagnostic laboratories. These arise from the rarity of human infections, minimal documented experience with test delivery and interpretation, the paucity of established commercial or in-house assays, the lack of clinical material for test ...

Characterization of Ebolavirus regulatory genomic regions [PDF]
For filoviruses, such as Ebolavirus and the closely related Marburgvirus, transcriptional regulation is poorly understood. The open reading frames (ORFs) that encode the viral proteins are separated by regulatory regions composed of the 3' nontranslated region (NTR) of the upstream gene, highly conserved transcription stop and start signals, and the 5 ...

ABSTRACT Background and Objective This study employed Mendelian randomization (MR) to investigate the causal relationships between 4907 circulating proteins and hyperlipidemia, with the aim of identifying potential drug targets. Methods Instrumental variables were derived from genome‐wide association study (GWAS) data on 4907 circulating proteins ...

Putative endogenous filovirus VP35-like protein potentially functions as an IFN antagonist but not a polymerase cofactor. [PDF]
It has been proposed that some non-retroviral RNA virus genes are integrated into vertebrate genomes. Endogenous filovirus-like elements (EFLs) have been discovered in some mammalian genomes.
