Filovirus surveillance of bats in Zambia
Bats are suspected to play important roles in the ecology of filoviruses, including ebolaviruses and marburgviruses. A cave-dwelling fruit bat, Rousettus aegyptiacus, has been shown to be a reservoir of marburgviruses.

Members of the family Filoviridae are filamentous, enveloped, and nonsegmented negative-stranded RNA viruses that can cause severe hemorrhagic disease in humans and nonhuman primates with high mortality rates. Current efforts to analyze the structure and biology of these viruses as well as the development of antivirals have been hindered by the ...

Production and Purification of Filovirus Glycoproteins in Insect and Mammalian Cell Lines
Filoviruses are highly virulent pathogens capable of causing severe disease. The glycoproteins of filoviruses are the only virally expressed proteins on the virion surface and are required for receptor binding.
