, 2017 The family Filoviridae includes the genera Ebolavirus, Marburgvirus, and Cuevavirus. Ebola virus and Marburg virus can cause severe, often lethal, hemorrhagic fever in humans. Filoviruses (member of the order Mononegavirales) are enveloped viruses with unsegmented, negative-strand RNA genomes.

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 ...

Infections by viruses of the families Bunyaviridae and Filoviridae [PDF]
Revue Scientifique et Technique de l'OIE, 2000 Rift Valley fever is the most important bunyaviral disease of animals in Africa. The virus, transmitted by mosquitoes, causes abortions and mortality in young animals in addition to haemorrhagic fevers in humans. Although vaccines against this virus are available, the uses of these vaccines are limited because of deleterious effects or incomplete ...

Analysis of Simple and Imperfect Microsatellites in Ebolavirus Species and Other Genomes of Filoviridae Family [PDF]
Gene, Cell and Tissue, 2015 Background: Microsatellites have evoked the interest of researchers owing to their applications in different fields such as DNA fingerprinting, genetic mapping, population genetics, forensics, paternity studies and evolution. Objectives: The present study focused on the analysis of simple sequence repeats (SSRs) in genomes of seven species from three ...

Climate Change-Driven Heatwaves Pose Lethal Risks to Newborn Forest Bats. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis is the first recorded case of forest bat mortality in temperate regions caused by heatwaves. The study suggests that forest fragmentation exposes bats to lethal thermal peaks, highlighting a previously overlooked impact of climate change on these mammals and potential interactions with forest fragmentation.

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.
