Macrophages are one of the first and also a major site of filovirus replication and, in addition, are a source of multiple cytokines, presumed to play a critical role in the pathogenesis of the viral infection. Some of these cytokines are known to induce

Summary: Antibodies that target the glycan cap epitope on the ebolavirus glycoprotein (GP) are common in the adaptive response of survivors. A subset is known to be broadly neutralizing, but the details of their epitopes and basis for neutralization are ...

IFITM3 Is Elevated in BAL and Plasma Following Infection in ICU Setting
IFITM3 levels in BAL and plasma of critically ill patients. ABSTRACT Interferon‐induced transmembrane protein 3 (IFITM3) is an antiviral protein with emerging roles in regulating inflammatory pathways. Although much is known about the role of IFITM3 in mediating host antiviral defense, its contribution to systemic immune responses during critical ...

Forty-Five Years of Marburg Virus Research
In 1967, the first reported filovirus hemorrhagic fever outbreak took place in Germany and the former Yugoslavia. The causative agent that was identified during this outbreak, Marburg virus, is one of the most deadly human pathogens.

Mathematical Modeling of Pulse‐Seeded Metapopulation Dynamics for Andes Hantavirus Border Dispersal
A pulse‐seeded metapopulation SEIR model for Andes hantavirus maritime dispersal shows that heterogeneous quarantine compliance determines secondary outbreak risk. The weakest‐compliance country governs global containment, while uniform compliance above ∼65%$$ \sim 65\% $$ reduces the global reproduction number below unity.

This study generates a comprehensive Ebola virus (EBOV)‐human protein–protein interactome, comprising 1728 core high‐confidence interactions. Further interactome analysis revealed the potential association of EBOV glycoprotein (GP) with the host factor TM9SF2. Subsequent mechanistic investigations confirmed that TM9SF2 functions as an attachment factor

Tuning the Length of Filomicelles Prepared Via Templated Polymerization‐Induced Self‐Assembly
High‐aspect‐ratio polymeric micelles are attractive yet notoriously difficult to control in length. We reveal a counterintuitive and powerful solution: in supramolecularly templated PISA, adding non‐sticker polymer unexpectedly elongates the micelles, while post‐assembly sonication enables precise shortening with reduced dispersity.

Suspected Exposure to Filoviruses Among People Contacting Wildlife in Southwestern Uganda [PDF]
Background Human and filovirus host interactions remain poorly understood in areas where Ebola hemorrhagic fever outbreaks are likely to occur.

ABSTRACT Using the US Agency for International Development (USAID) PREDICT program as a case study, I argue that mainstream emerging disease science (re)produces Orientalist imaginaries of pandemic risk through narratives about wildlife infections as inherently “backwards” in epidemic time relative to human and domestic animal infections. This temporal

Development and Structural Analysis of Antibody Therapeutics for Filoviruses
The filoviruses, including ebolaviruses and marburgviruses, are among the world’s deadliest pathogens. As the only surface-exposed protein on mature virions, their glycoprotein GP is the focus of current therapeutic monoclonal antibody discovery ...
