Cutaneous manifestations of filovirus infections

International Journal of Dermatology, 2012
AbstractEbolavirus and Marburgvirus, two filoviruses belonging to the Filoviridae family, are among the most virulent pathogens for humans and non‐human primates, causing outbreaks of fulminant hemorrhagic fever (HF) in Central African countries with case fatality rates of up to 90%.

Niemann-Pick C1 Heterogeneity of Bat Cells Controls Filovirus Tropism

Cell Reports, 2020
Summary: Fruit bats are suspected to be natural hosts of filoviruses, including Ebola virus (EBOV) and Marburg virus (MARV). Interestingly, however, previous studies suggest that these viruses have different tropisms depending on the bat species.

Filovirus VP24 Proteins Differentially Regulate RIG-I and MDA5-Dependent Type I and III Interferon Promoter Activation

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Filovirus family consists of highly pathogenic viruses that have caused fatal outbreaks especially in many African countries. Previously, research focus has been on Ebola, Sudan and Marburg viruses leaving other filoviruses less well studied. Filoviruses,

Targeted Interventions in HAM/TSP: Emerging Therapies and Future Directions – A Narrative Review

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aim Human T‐Lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV‐1) infection can lead to HTLV‐1‐associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP), a debilitating chronic neurological disease characterized by progressive lower limb spasticity and autonomic dysfunction.

Identification and Optimization of a Truncated Hs‐1‐Derived Antimicrobial Peptide for Enhanced Broad‐Spectrum Antiviral Activity

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 13, 14 July 2026.
Can a shorter peptide be a better antiviral? Structure‐guided optimization of the amphibian peptide Hs‐1 reveals a minimal α‐helical core that, after terminal modification, displays enhanced stability and submicromolar broad‐spectrum activity against enveloped viruses while maintaining a favorable safety profile. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) represent

Marburg Virus Glycoprotein Is a Remarkable Virulent Factor Linked to Hemorrhagic Pathology: Evidence from Multimodal Experimental Systems

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 39, 13 July 2026.
By integrating data from in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo models, our research identifies the MARV glycoprotein as a remarkable hemorrhagic factor, filling a major gap in this important field. It also provides practical experimental tools for the basic research on viral pathogenesis and applied research aimed at antiviral intervention for hemorrhagic ...

Intracellular Events and Cell Fate in Filovirus Infection

Viruses, 2011
Marburg and Ebola viruses cause a severe hemorrhagic disease in humans with high fatality rates. Early target cells of filoviruses are monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells. The infection spreads to the liver, spleen and later other organs by blood

Repurposed Medicines for Viruses With Epidemic or Pandemic Potential: A Horizon Scan

Pharmacology Research &Perspectives, Volume 14, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Viruses such as Ebola, Marburg, influenza, mpox, MERS‐CoV, SARS‐CoV, and SARS‐CoV‐2 may be considered pathogens of epidemic or pandemic concern. Developing novel antiviral medicines can be time‐consuming and resource intensive. Repurposing existing medicines with known or potential antiviral activity offers a faster, cost‐effective strategy to

FILOVIRUS TRANSCRIPTION AND REPLICATION [PDF]

, 2014
Filoviruses belong to the group of nonsegmented, negative-sense (NNS) RNA viruses and are members of the order Mononegavirales along with the rhabdo-, paramyxo-, nyami-, and bornaviruses. Mononegaviruses share a general mechanism to replicate and transcribe their genomes, reflected in functionally homologous proteins and a similar genome structure ...

Cellular Factors Implicated in Filovirus Entry [PDF]

Advances in Virology, 2013
Although filoviral infections are still occurring in different parts of the world, there are no effective preventive or treatment strategies currently available against them. Not only do filoviruses cause a deadly infection, but they also have the potential of being used as biological weapons.
