Filovirus-reactive antibodies in humans and bats in Northeast India imply zoonotic spillover

open access: yes, 2019
Bats are reservoirs for several zoonotic pathogens, including filoviruses. Recent work highlights the diversity of bat borne filoviruses in Asia. High risk activities at the bat-human interface pose the threat of zoonotic virus transmission.

Antibody-Dependent Enhancement of Ebola Virus Infection by Human Antibodies Isolated from Survivors

open access: yesCell Reports, 2018
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

Durability of a vesicular stomatitis virus-based marburg virus vaccine in nonhuman primates.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
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 ...

AAV Vectored Immunoprophylaxis for Filovirus Infections [PDF]

open access: yesTropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2020
Filoviruses are among the deadliest infectious agents known to man, causing severe hemorrhagic fever, with up to 90% fatality rates. The 2014 Ebola outbreak in West Africa resulted in over 28,000 infections, demonstrating the large-scale human health and economic impact generated by filoviruses.

Filovirus Hemorrhagic Fever Outbreak Case Management: A Review of Current and Future Treatment Options

open access: yes, 2011
: Testing an innovative therapy for filovirus hemorrhagic fever (FHF) in an outbreak setting may be years away. Moreover, beyond anecdotal evidence, little is known about best practice for outbreak case management.

Identity and validity of conserved B cell epitopes of filovirus glycoprotein: towards rapid diagnostic testing for Ebola and possibly Marburg virus disease

open access: yesBMC Infectious Diseases, 2018
Background Ebolavirus and Marburgvirus are genera of the virus family Filoviridae. Filoviruses cause rare but fatal viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHFs) in remote villages of equatorial Africa with potential for regional and international spread.
