A Bayesian analysis of birth pulse effects on the probability of detecting Ebola virus in fruit bats

Peer Community Journal
Since 1976 various species of Ebolavirus have caused a series of zoonotic outbreaks and public health crises in Africa. Bats have long been hypothesised to function as important hosts for ebolavirus maintenance, however the transmission ecology for these

Stable SARS‐CoV‐2 antibody levels and functionality in serum and COVID‐19 convalescent plasma after long‐term storage

Vox Sanguinis, Volume 120, Issue 8, Page 784-792, August 2025.
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.

Ecological indicators of mammal exposure to Ebolavirus [PDF]

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2019
Much of the basic ecology of Ebolavirus remains unresolved despite accumulating disease outbreaks, viral strains and evidence of animal hosts. Because human Ebolavirus epidemics have been linked to contact with wild mammals other than bats, traits shared by species that have been infected by Ebolavirus and their phylogenetic distribution could suggest ...

Risk assessment of Ebola Reston virus in humans in the Philippines

Western Pacific Surveillance and Response, 2019
Objective: There have been five documented outbreaks of Ebola Reston virus (RESTV) in animals epidemiologically linked to the Philippines. This assessment was conducted to determine the risk of RESTV occurring in humans in the Philippines and its ...

Land Use Change and Infectious Disease Emergence

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 63, Issue 2, June 2025.
Abstract Major infectious diseases threatening human health are transmitted to people from animals or by arthropod vectors such as insects. In recent decades, disease outbreaks have become more common, especially in tropical regions, including new and emerging infections that were previously undetected or unknown. Even though there is growing awareness

Process Intensification for Recombinant Marburg Virus Glycoprotein Production Using Drosophila S2 Cells

Engineering in Life Sciences, Volume 25, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Marburg marburgvirus (MARV) is a highly virulent human pathogen with limited therapeutic options. Recombinant MARV glycoprotein (GP) produced in Drosophila Schneider 2 (S2) cells has been extensively investigated as potential vaccine antigen with promising efficacy demonstrated in nonhuman primate models.

Marburg Virus Disease: A Narrative Review

Health Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Given the recent deadly outbreaks of the Marburg virus (MARV), in early 2023 in Tanzania and Equatorial Guinea, and the most recent one in Rwanda in 2024, there has been renewed attention across Africa on the threat posed by the re‐emergence of MARV as a growing concern for public health.

Protocol for ebolavirus qPCR TaqMan multiplex assay (Bundibugyo ebolavirus, Zaire ebolavirus, Sudan ebolavirus, and human internal control) v1

Rapid molecular diagnostics are essential for both outbreak response and ongoing surveillance of ebolaviruses. In earlier work, we developed and analytically validated a targeted qPCR assay for Bundibugyo ebolavirus in response to the 2026 outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
