Viewpoint: filovirus haemorrhagic fever outbreaks: much ado about nothing? [PDF]
The recent outbreak of Marburg haemorrhagic fever in the Democratic Republic of Congo has put the filovirus threat back on the international health agenda.

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.

Antibody-Dependent Enhancement of Ebola Virus Infection by Human Antibodies Isolated from Survivors
Summary: Some monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) recovered from survivors of filovirus infections can protect against infection. It is currently unknown whether natural infection also induces some antibodies with the capacity for antibody-dependent enhancement

Filovirus Replication and Transcription [PDF]
The highly pathogenic filoviruses, Marburg and Ebola virus, belong to the nonsegmented negative-sense RNA viruses of the order Mononegavirales. The mode of replication and transcription is similar for these viruses. On one hand, the negative-sense RNA genome serves as a template for replication, to generate progeny genomes, and, on the other hand, for ...

Durability of a vesicular stomatitis virus-based marburg virus vaccine in nonhuman primates.
The filoviruses, Marburg virus (MARV) and Ebola virus, causes severe hemorrhagic fever with high mortality in humans and nonhuman primates. A promising filovirus vaccine under development is based on a recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (rVSV) that ...

Unmasking the Influence of Viral Micro‐RNAs on Host Immunity
Viral micro‐RNAs are increasingly recognized as key modulators of host–virus interactions. They influence multiple immune functions, including antigen presentation, T‐cell activation, and cytokine signaling, while also tuning viral gene expression to promote persistence.

IFITM3 Is Elevated in BAL and Plasma Following Infection in ICU Setting
IFITM3 levels in BAL and plasma of critically ill patients. ABSTRACT Interferon‐induced transmembrane protein 3 (IFITM3) is an antiviral protein with emerging roles in regulating inflammatory pathways. Although much is known about the role of IFITM3 in mediating host antiviral defense, its contribution to systemic immune responses during critical ...

Clinical documentation and data transfer from Ebola and Marburg virus disease wards in outbreak settings: health care workers' experiences and preferences. [PDF]
Understanding human filovirus hemorrhagic fever (FHF) clinical manifestations and evaluating treatment strategies require the collection of clinical data in outbreak settings, where clinical documentation has been limited.
