Epidemiology of Ebolaviruses from an Etiological Perspective
Since the inception of the ebolavirus in 1976, 32 outbreaks have resulted in nearly 15,350 deaths in more than ten countries of the African continent. In the last decade, the largest (2013–2016) and second largest (2018–2020) ebolavirus outbreaks have ...

Natural history of Sudan ebolavirus infection in rhesus and cynomolgus macaques
Due to its high mortality rate and continued re-emergence, Ebolavirus disease (EVD) continues to pose a serious threat to global health. A group of viruses within the genus Ebolavirus causes this severe hemorrhagic disease in humans: Ebola virus (EBOV ...

Ebolavirus: Pseudotypes, Libraries and Standards [PDF]
Globalization, accompanied by increasing levels of international travel and trade, climate change, altered human behavior and demographics, is leading to the emergence of manifold viral diseases, many of which are highly pathogenic and hence are considered of great public and animal health importance to the global populace [1].

Ebolavirus vaccines for humans and apes [PDF]
Because of high case fatality proportions, person-to-person transmission, and potential use in bioterrorism, the development of a vaccine against ebolavirus remains a top priority. Although no licensed vaccine or treatment against ebolavirus is currently available, progress in preclinical testing of countermeasures has been made.

Ebolavirus Evolution: Past and Present
The past year has marked the most devastating Ebola outbreak the world has ever witnessed, with over 28,000 cases and over 11,000 deaths. Ebola virus (EBOV) has now been around for almost 50 years. In this review, we discuss past and present outbreaks of EBOV and how those variants evolved over time.

Ebolavirus and Marburgvirus: Insight the Filoviridae family [PDF]
Ebolavirus and Marburgvirus (belonging to the Filoviridae family) emerged four decades ago and cause epidemics of haemorrhagic fever with high case-fatality rates. The genome of filoviruses encodes seven proteins. No significant homology is observed between filovirus proteins and any known macromolecule.
