Ebola virus VP30 and nucleoprotein interactions modulate viral RNA synthesis [PDF]
Ebola virus (EBOV) is an enveloped negative-sense RNA virus that causes sporadic outbreaks with high case fatality rates. Ebola viral protein 30 (eVP30) plays a critical role in EBOV transcription initiation at the nucleoprotein (eNP) gene, with ...

Potent neutralizing monoclonal antibodies against Ebola virus isolated from vaccinated donors
Ebola virus (EBOV) can cause severe hemorrhagic fever in humans, and no approved treatment is currently available. Although several antibodies have achieved good protection in animal models, the potential emerging isolates of ebolavirus and the unknown ...

Ebola virus disease outbreak in Korea: use of a mathematical model and stochastic simulation to estimate risk [PDF]
OBJECTIVES According to the World Health Organization, there have been frequent reports of Ebola virus disease (EVD) since the 2014 EVD pandemic in West Africa. We aim to estimate the outbreak scale when an EVD infected person arrives in Korea.

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 ...

Plant phenology supports the multi-emergence hypothesis for ebola spillover events [PDF]
Ebola virus disease outbreaks in animals (including humans and great apes) start with sporadic host switches from unknown reservoir species. The factors leading to such spillover events are little explored.

Oral administration of obeldesivir protects nonhuman primates against Sudan ebolavirus
Obeldesivir (ODV, GS-5245) is an orally administered prodrug of the parent nucleoside of remdesivir (RDV) and is presently in phase 3 trials for COVID-19 treatment.

Ecological indicators of mammal exposure to Ebolavirus [PDF]
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 ...

Ebolavirus Classification Based on Natural Vectors [PDF]
According to the WHO, ebolaviruses have resulted in 8818 human deaths in West Africa as of January 2015. To better understand the evolutionary relationship of the ebolaviruses and infer virulence from the relationship, we applied the alignment-free natural vector method to classify the newest ebolaviruses.

Inhibition of PIKfyve kinase prevents infection by Zaire ebolavirus and SARS-CoV-2
Significance The membrane fusion proteins of viral pathogens as diverse in their replication strategies as coronaviruses and filoviruses depend, for their functional activity, on proteolytic processing during cell entry.
