Correlates of Immunity to Filovirus Infection
Filoviruses can cause severe, often fatal hemorrhagic fever in humans. Recent advances in vaccine and therapeutic drug development have provided encouraging data concerning treatment of these infections.

Prevalence of human filovirus infections in sub-Saharan Africa: A systematic review and meta-analysis protocol. [PDF]
Recent outbreaks of Ebola virus disease (EVD) and Marburg virus disease (MVD) in sub-Saharan Africa illustrate the need to better understand animal reservoirs, burden of disease, and human transmission of filoviruses.

Filovirus infections: science and innovation
Epidemics of Filovirus Hemorrhagic Fevers demonstrate an increase in incidence, a reduction in the intervals between outbreaks, the emergence of a risk of infection spreading to non-endemic regions in recent years.

Assembly and transport of filovirus nucleocapsids
Filovirus-infected cells are characterized by typical cytoplasmic inclusion bodies (IBs) located in the perinuclear region. The formation of these IBs is induced mainly by the accumulation of the filoviral nucleoprotein NP, which recruits the other ...

Filovirus RefSeq Entries: Evaluation and Selection of Filovirus Type Variants, Type Sequences, and Names [PDF]
Sequence determination of complete or coding-complete genomes of viruses is becoming common practice for supporting the work of epidemiologists, ecologists, virologists, and taxonomists. Sequencing duration and costs are rapidly decreasing, sequencing hardware is under modification for use by non-experts, and software is constantly being improved to ...

A number of advances in recent years have significantly furthered our understanding of filovirus attachment and cellular tropism. For example, several cell-surface molecules have been identified as attachment factors with the potential to facilitate the in vivo targeting of particular cell types such as macrophages and hepatic cells.

Structural insights into the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase complexes from highly pathogenic Marburg and Ebola viruses [PDF]
The Ebola and the Marburg viruses belong to the Filoviridae family, a group of filamentous, single-stranded, negative-sensed RNA viruses. Upon infection, uncontrolled propagation of the Ebola and the Marburg viruses causes severe hemorrhagic fevers with ...

Mouse Models for Filovirus Infections [PDF]
The filoviruses marburg- and ebolaviruses can cause severe hemorrhagic fever (HF) in humans and nonhuman primates. Because many cases have occurred in geographical areas lacking a medical research infrastructure, most studies of the pathogenesis of filoviral HF, and all efforts to develop drugs and vaccines, have been carried out in biocontainment ...
