Antiviral therapies against Ebola and other emerging viral diseases using existing medicines that block virus entry [PDF]
Emerging viral diseases pose a threat to the global population as intervention strategies are mainly limited to basic containment due to the lack of efficacious and approved vaccines and antiviral drugs.

Natural History of Sudan ebolavirus to Support Medical Countermeasure Development
Sudan ebolavirus (SUDV) is one of four members of the Ebolavirus genus known to cause Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) in humans, which is characterized by hemorrhagic fever and a high case fatality rate.

The ebolavirus VP24 interferon antagonist [PDF]
Suppression during the early phases of the immune system often correlates directly with a fatal outcome for the host. The ebolaviruses, some of the most lethal viruses known, appear to cripple initial stages of the host defense network via multiple distinct paths. Two of the eight viral proteins are critical for immunosuppression. One of these proteins

Abstract Background and Objectives The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic necessitated various therapeutic approaches, including convalescent plasma (CP) administration. The administration timing of COVID‐19 CP (CCP), antibody specificity and quantity were identified as crucial factors for therapeutic success.

Rapid Sequence Identification of Potential Pathogens Using Techniques from Sparse Linear Algebra
The decreasing costs and increasing speed and accuracy of DNA sample collection, preparation, and sequencing has rapidly produced an enormous volume of genetic data. However, fast and accurate analysis of the samples remains a bottleneck. Here we present

Estimating the reproduction number of Ebola virus (EBOV) during the 2014 outbreak in West Africa [PDF]
The 2014 Ebola virus (EBOV) outbreak in West Africa is the largest outbreak of the genus Ebolavirus to date. To better understand the spread of infection in the affected countries, it is crucial to know the number of secondary cases generated by an ...

RIG-I activation inhibits ebolavirus replication
Hemorrhagic fever viruses are associated with rapidly progressing severe disease with high case fatality, making them of public health and biothreat importance. Effective antivirals are not available for most of the members of this diverse group of viruses. A broad spectrum strategy for antiviral development would be very advantageous. Perhaps the most
