FILOVIRUS TRANSCRIPTION AND REPLICATION [PDF]
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 ...

Filovirus Mimics Deliver Effectively [PDF]
Filoviruses such as Ebola are microns long but biophysical advantages for such encapsulating/enveloped viruses have remained obscure. Flexible ‘filomicelles’ have been made from amphiphilic block copolymers and demonstrate effective delivery of two very different hydrophobic compounds.

Intracellular Events and Cell Fate in Filovirus Infection
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

Abstract Following the SARS‐CoV‐2 pandemic, many direct‐acting antivirals targeting viral cysteine protease were developed. SARS‐CoV‐2, as well as other viruses, rely on cysteine proteases for their replication, suggesting future generations of antivirals targeting cysteine proteases will emerge.

Animal models for filovirus infections.
The family Filoviridae, which includes the genera Marburgvirus and Ebolavirus, contains some of the most pathogenic viruses in humans and non-human primates (NHPs), causing severe hemorrhagic fevers with high fatality rates. Small animal models against filoviruses using mice, guinea pigs, hamsters, and ferrets have been developed with the goal of ...

Possible leap ahead in filovirus therapeutics [PDF]
In a recent study published in Nature, Warren et al. describe the generation of a novel synthetic adenosine analogue, BCX4430, a synthetic drug-like small molecule that provides protection from Ebola and Marburg virus infection in animal models.
