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.

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.

Ebolavirus and Marburgvirus: Insight the Filoviridae family [PDF]
Molecular Aspects of Medicine, 2007 Ebolavirus and Marburgvirus (belonging to the Filoviridae family) emerged four decades ago and cause epidemics of haemorrhagic fever with high case-fatality rates. The genome of filoviruses encodes seven proteins. No significant homology is observed between filovirus proteins and any known macromolecule.

Molecular Evolution of Viruses of the Family Filoviridae Based on 97 Whole-Genome Sequences [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 2012 ABSTRACT Viruses in the Ebolavirus and Marburgvirus genera (family Filoviridae ) have been associated with large outbreaks of hemorrhagic fever in human and nonhuman primates.

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.

Long-term survival of an urban fruit bat seropositive for Ebola and Lagos bat viruses. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Ebolaviruses (EBOV) (family Filoviridae) cause viral hemorrhagic fevers in humans and non-human primates when they spill over from their wildlife reservoir hosts with case fatality rates of up to 90%.

Marburg Virus Disease: A Narrative Review. [PDF]
Health Sci RepABSTRACT Background and Aims Given the recent deadly outbreaks of the Marburg virus (MARV), in early 2023 in Tanzania and Equatorial Guinea, and the most recent one in Rwanda in 2024, there has been renewed attention across Africa on the threat posed by the re‐emergence of MARV as a growing concern for public health.

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 ...
