Characterization of the Filovirus-Resistant Cell Line SH-SY5Y Reveals Redundant Role of Cell Surface Entry Factors

Viruses, 2019
Filoviruses infect a wide range of cell types with the exception of lymphocytes. The intracellular proteins cathepsin B and L, two-pore channel 1 and 2, and bona fide receptor Niemann–Pick Disease C1 (NPC1) are essential for the endosomal phase of ...

Cohorts of immature Pteropus bats show interannual variation in Hendra virus serology

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 3, Page 521-537, March 2026.
Pteropus bat with offspring, photo taken by Manuel Ruiz‐Aravena. Abstract Understanding the drivers of seasonal disease outbreaks remains a fundamental challenge in disease ecology. Periodic outbreaks can be driven by several seasonally varying factors, including pulses of susceptible individuals through births, changes in host behaviour and social ...

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.

Sex Differences in Response to Viral Vector Vaccines—Implications for Future Vaccine Design

Immunological Reviews, Volume 338, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Vaccination represents one of the most impactful public health achievements, preventing 3.5 to 5 million deaths annually according to estimates of the World Health Organization. Yet, recent outbreaks of emerging and reemerging infectious diseases highlight the need for rapid and strategic vaccine development using vaccine platforms ...

High prevalence of IgG antibodies to Ebola virus in the Efé pygmy population in the Watsa region, Democratic Republic of the Congo [PDF]

, 2016
Background Factors related to the natural transmission of Ebola virus (EBOV) to humans are still not well defined. Results of previous sero-prevalence studies suggest that circulation of EBOV in human population is common in sub- Saharan Africa.

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,

Strategic Preparedness of Broad‐Spectrum Antivirals for Rapid Response Towards Next Pandemics

Small Science, Volume 6, Issue 1, January 2026.
Nanoengineered broad‐spectrum antivirals (BSAs) represent a transformative approach to pandemic preparedness. Unlike virus‐specific drugs requiring separate development, BSAs act across multiple viral families through nanoengineering strategies that enhance solubility, bioavailability, and host‐targeted activity.

In Silico Identification of Antiviral Peptides as Potential Leads Against Sudan Ebolavirus VP‐40

BioMed Research International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The continued reemergence of Ebola virus epidemics remains a global health concern, largely due to limited therapeutic interventions. This study is aimed at identifying and characterizing antiviral peptides as potential lead candidates against the Sudan Ebola virus.
