Filoviridae: insights into immune responses to Ebola virus
Exploration of ImmunologyEbola virus (EBOV) is a zoonotic virus comprising of six known different species, designated within the family Filoviridae and genus Ebolavirus. The first recorded outbreak of an EBOV disease (EVD) was in Yambuku, Zaire EBOV (ZEBOV) in 1976, followed by ...

Viral diversity in wild rodents in the regions of Canaã de Carajás and Curionopólis, State of Pará, Brazil [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyWild rodents serve as crucial reservoirs for zoonotic viruses. Anthropogenic and environmental disruptions, particularly those induced by mining activities, can destabilize rodent populations and facilitate the emergence of viral agents. In the Canaã dos

Morphologic Differentiation of Viruses beyond the Family Level
Viruses, 2014 Electron microscopy has been instrumental in the identification of viruses by being able to characterize a virus to the family level. There are a few cases where morphologic or morphogenesis factors can be used to differentiate further, to the genus ...

The role of platelets in the pathogenesis of viral hemorrhagic fevers. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014 Viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHF) are acute zoonotic diseases that, early on, seem to cause platelet destruction or dysfunction. Here we present the four major ways viruses affect platelet development and function and new evidence of molecular factors that ...
