Cellular Factors Implicated in Filovirus Entry [PDF]

open access: yesAdvances 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.

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.

Production of human cathepsins using Expi293™ mammalian cell expression system for off‐target activity of cysteine protease inhibitor screening

open access: yesProtein Science, Volume 34, Issue 11, November 2025.
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.

Cutaneous manifestations of filovirus infections

open access: yesInternational 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%.

Ebola Haemorrhagic Fever in Africa: a Necessary Highlight [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The purpose of this commentary is to re-evaluate the historic and scientific facts on Ebola haemorrhagic fever and the role of the International community, especially Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) in stemming the tide.

Organoid Models to Study Human Infectious Diseases

open access: yesCell Proliferation, Volume 58, Issue 11, November 2025.
Our manuscript reviews the role of organoids as models for studying human infectious diseases, highlighting their irreplaceable contributions to drug testing and vaccine development for significant infectious diseases including HIV, ZIKV, SARS‐CoV‐2 and MPXV.

Filovirius vaccines [PDF]

open access: yesHuman Vaccines, 2011
Filoviruses can cause severe and often fatal hemorrhagic fever in humans and non-human primates (NHPs). Although there are currently no clinically proven treatments for filovirus disease, much progress has been made in recent years in the discovery of therapeutics and vaccines against these viruses.

First-in-human study to evaluate safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of heterologous regimens using the multivalent filovirus vaccines Ad26.Filo and MVA-BN-Filo administered in different sequences and schedules: A randomized, controlled study

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2022
Background Though clinically similar, Ebola virus disease and Marburg virus disease are caused by different viruses. Of the 30 documented outbreaks of these diseases in sub-Saharan Africa, eight were major outbreaks (≥200 cases; five caused by Zaire ...

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

open access: yesViruses, 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 ...
