Evidence that ebolaviruses and cuevaviruses have been diverging from marburgviruses since the Miocene [PDF]
PeerJ, 2014 An understanding of the timescale of evolution is critical for comparative virology but remains elusive for many RNA viruses. Age estimates based on mutation rates can severely underestimate divergences for ancient viral genes that are evolving under ...

Dynamics of Antibodies to Ebolaviruses in an Eidolon helvum Bat Colony in Cameroon [PDF]
Viruses, 2022 The ecology of ebolaviruses is still poorly understood and the role of bats in outbreaks needs to be further clarified. Straw-colored fruit bats (Eidolon helvum) are the most common fruit bats in Africa and antibodies to ebolaviruses have been documented

Spillover of ebolaviruses into people in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo prior to the 2018 Ebola virus disease outbreak [PDF]
One Health Outlook, 2020 Background The second largest Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak began in the Democratic Republic of Congo in July 2018 in North Kivu Province. Data suggest the outbreak is not epidemiologically linked to the 2018 outbreak in Equateur Province, and that ...

Ebola Virus Maintenance: If Not (Only) Bats, What Else? [PDF]
Viruses, 2018 The maintenance mechanisms of ebolaviruses in African forest ecosystems are still unknown, but indirect evidences point at the involvement of some bat species. Despite intense research, the main bat-maintenance hypothesis has not been confirmed yet.

Taï Forest Virus Does Not Cause Lethal Disease in Ferrets
Microorganisms, 2021 Filoviruses are zoonotic, negative-sense RNA viruses, most of which are capable of causing severe disease in humans and nonhuman primates, often with high case fatality rates.

Risks Posed by Reston, the Forgotten Ebolavirus [PDF]
mSphere, 2016 Out of the five members of the Ebolavirus family, four cause life-threatening disease, whereas the fifth, Reston virus (RESTV), is nonpathogenic in humans. The reasons for this discrepancy remain unclear.

Testing New Hypotheses Regarding Ebolavirus Reservoirs
Viruses, 2016 Despite a relatively long search for the origin of ebolaviruses, their reservoirs remain elusive. Researchers might have to consider testing alternative hypotheses about how these viruses persist and emerge to advance ebolavirus research.

Viruses, 2015 The Egyptian rousette bat (Rousettus aegyptiacus) is a natural reservoir for marburgviruses and a consistent source of virus spillover to humans. Cumulative evidence suggests various bat species may also transmit ebolaviruses.

Herd Immunity to Ebolaviruses Is Not a Realistic Target for Current Vaccination Strategies [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 The recent West African Ebola virus pandemic, which affected >28,000 individuals increased interest in anti-Ebolavirus vaccination programs. Here, we systematically analyzed the requirements for a prophylactic vaccination program based on the basic ...

Ebola Virus IgG Seroprevalence in Southern Mali
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2021 Mali had 2 reported introductions of Ebola virus (EBOV) during the 2013–2016 West Africa epidemic. Previously, no evidence for EBOV circulation was reported in Mali. We performed an EBOV serosurvey study in southern Mali.
