Ebolavirus’s Foibles [PDF]

Cell, 2017
Ebola virus disease poses a global health threat. Here, two studies by Wec et al. and Zhao et al. identified vulnerability in an internal fusion loop of an ebolavirus glycoprotein. Monoclonal antibodies elicited from immunization and isolated from a human survivor that recognized epitopes in this area neutralized all five ebolaviruses, guiding the ...

Ebolaviruscomparative genomics [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2015
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) The 2014 Ebola outbreak in West Africa is the largest documented for this virus. To examine the dynamics of this genome, we compare more than 100 currently available ebolavirus genomes to each other and to other viral genomes.

Ebolavirus Δ-Peptide Immunoadhesins Inhibit Marburgvirus and Ebolavirus Cell Entry [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 2011
ABSTRACT With the exception of Reston and Lloviu viruses, filoviruses (marburgviruses, ebolaviruses, and “cuevaviruses”) cause severe viral hemorrhagic fevers in humans. Filoviruses use a class I fusion protein, GP 1,2 , to bind to an unknown, but shared, cell surface receptor to initiate virus-cell fusion.

Development and validation of portable, field-deployable Ebola virus point-of-encounter diagnostic assay for wildlife surveillance

One Health Outlook, 2021
Early detection of Ebola virus spillover into wildlife is crucial for rapid response. We developed and validated a portable, cold-chain independent Ebola virus RT-qPCR assay.

Tracking ebolavirus genomic drift with a resequencing microarray.

PLoS ONE, 2022
Filoviruses are emerging pathogens that cause acute fever with high fatality rate and present a global public health threat. During the 2013-2016 Ebola virus outbreak, genome sequencing allowed the study of virus evolution, mutations affecting ...
