ICTV Virus Taxonomy Profile: Filoviridae [PDF]
Journal of General Virology, 2019 Members of the family Filoviridae produce variously shaped, often filamentous, enveloped virions containing linear non-segmented, negative-sense RNA genomes of 15–19 kb. Several filoviruses (e.g., Ebola virus) are pathogenic for humans and are highly virulent.

Characteristics of Filoviridae: Marburg and Ebola Viruses [PDF]
Naturwissenschaften, 1999 Filoviruses are enveloped, nonsegmented negative-stranded RNA viruses. The two species, Marburg and Ebola virus, are serologically, biochemically, and genetically distinct. Marburg virus was first isolated during an outbreak in Europe in 1967, and Ebola virus emerged in 1976 as the causative agent of two simultaneous outbreaks in southern Sudan and ...

Viruses of the Filoviridae family
Science and Innovations, 2023 The article considers representatives of the Filoviridae family, some of which are the causative agents of hemorrhagic fever, which is fatal to humans. The current state of development of immunobiological drugs for the treatment and medical prevention of diseases caused by filoviruses has been analyzed.

Fledertiere und andere Reservoirwirte der Filoviridae. Epidemiegefahr am afrikanischen Kontinent? – Eine deduktive Literaturanalyse [PDF]
Wiener klinische Wochenschrift, 2010 (Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Die Familie der Filoviridae beinhaltet das Ebola- und das Marburgvirus, die hämorrhagisches Fieber in sub-Sahara Afrika auslösen können. Diese viralen Erkrankungen weisen eine hohe Letalitätsrate und ein plötzliches, epidemisches Auftreten auf.

Current perspectives on the phylogeny of Filoviridae
Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2011 (Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Sporadic fatal outbreaks of disease in humans and non-human primates caused by Ebola or Marburg viruses have driven research into the characterization of these viruses with the hopes of identifying host tropisms and potential reservoirs.
