Filoviruses: Innate Immunity, Inflammatory Cell Death, and Cytokines
Filoviruses are a group of single-stranded negative sense RNA viruses. The most well-known filoviruses that affect humans are ebolaviruses and marburgviruses. During infection, they can cause life-threatening symptoms such as inflammation, tissue damage,

In dieser Studie wurden durch Elektrospinning photoaktive Membranen aus hydrophobem PCL und hydrophilem PAN hergestellt, in die entweder ein hydrophober oder hydrophiler Photosensibilisator eingebettet wurde. Mit Hilfe der Fluoreszenzlebensdauer‐Mikroskopie konnten photoangeregte „aktive Zentren“ innerhalb der Membranen identifiziert werden und damit ...

High prevalence of IgG antibodies to Ebola virus in the Efé pygmy population in the Watsa region, Democratic Republic of the Congo [PDF]
Background Factors related to the natural transmission of Ebola virus (EBOV) to humans are still not well defined. Results of previous sero-prevalence studies suggest that circulation of EBOV in human population is common in sub- Saharan Africa.

Regioselective Deacetylation in Nucleosides and Derivatives
Selective deprotection of the acetyl group(s) in acetylated nucleosides demonstrates practical significance in synthetic processes. It simplifies the preparation of partially or differentially substituted nucleoside intermediates. In this mini‐review, we summarized and evaluated recent approaches for regioselective deacetylation in acetylated ...

The current landscape of nucleic acid tests for filovirus detection. [PDF]
Nucleic acid testing (NAT) for pathogenic filoviruses plays a key role in surveillance and to control the spread of infection. As they share clinical features with other pathogens, the initial spread of these viruses can be misdiagnosed.

Advancing the field of viroporins—Structure, function and pharmacology: IUPHAR Review 39
Viroporins possess important potential as antiviral targets due to their critical roles during virus life cycles, spanning from virus entry to egress. Although the antiviral amantadine targets the M2 viroporin of influenza A virus, successful progression of other viroporin inhibitors into clinical use remains challenging.

Characterization of Influenza Virus Pseudotyped with Ebolavirus Glycoprotein [PDF]
ABSTRACT We have produced a new Ebola virus pseudotype, E-S-FLU, that can be handled in biosafety level 1/2 containment for laboratory analysis. The E-S-FLU virus is a single-cycle influenza virus coated with Ebolavirus glycoprotein, and it encodes enhanced green fluorescence protein as a reporter that replaces the influenza ...

Structural Basis for Differential Neutralization of Ebolaviruses
There are five antigenically distinct ebolaviruses that cause hemorrhagic fever in humans or non-human primates (Ebola virus, Sudan virus, Reston virus, Taï Forest virus, and Bundibugyo virus).

Data Fitting and Scenario Analysis of Vaccination in the 2014 Ebola Outbreak in Liberia [PDF]
Objectives This study aimed to extend an epidemiological model (SEIHFR) to analyze epidemic trends, and evaluate intervention efficacy. Methods SEIHFR was modified to examine disease transmission dynamics after vaccination for the Ebola outbreak.
