Urgent pandemic messaging of WHO, World Bank, and G20 is inconsistent with their evidence base
Global Policy, Volume 15, Issue 4, Page 689-707, September 2024.Abstract When international agencies make claims of an “existential threat” to humanity and advocate for urgent action from countries, it should be a safe assumption that they are consistent with their own data. However, a review of the data and evidentiary citations underlying the claims of the World Health Organization (WHO), the World Bank, and the ...

Can Marburg virus be sexually transmitted?
Health Science Reports, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2024.Abstract Background and Aim Marburg virus (MARV) is a highly virulent virus of animal origin and the cause of a lethal infection (known as Marburg virus disease [MVD]) with a case‐fatality ratio ranging from 24% to 90%. While the potential nonzoonotic routes of virus spread are plausible, the risk is not yet fully determined.

Ecologic and Geographic Distribution of Filovirus Disease [PDF]
, 2004 We used ecologic niche modeling of outbreaks and sporadic cases of filovirus-associated hemorrhagic fever (HF) to provide a large-scale perspective on the geographic and ecologic distributions of Ebola and Marburg viruses.

An Update on the Use of Antibodies Against the Filoviruses [PDF]
Immunotherapy, 2013 Multiple recent, independent studies have confirmed that passively administered antibodies can provide effective postexposure therapy in nonhuman primates after exposure to an otherwise lethal dose of Ebola virus or Marburg virus. In this article, we review composition and performance of the antibody cocktails tested thus far, what is known about ...

Interaction of filovirus proteins with RIG-I signaling pathways [PDF]
, 2022 Filovirus family consist of highly pathogenic negative-strand RNA viruses that are characterized by their filamentous virion structure. The main focus in previous research has been on ebolaviruses and marburgviruses due to the large epidemics caused by ...

Ebola exposure, illness experience, and Ebola antibody prevalence in international responders to the West African Ebola epidemic 2014-2016: A cross-sectional study. [PDF]
, 2017 BACKGROUND: Healthcare and other front-line workers are at particular risk of infection with Ebola virus (EBOV). Despite the large-scale deployment of international responders, few cases of Ebola virus disease have been diagnosed in this group.

ADVANCES IN TACKLING FILOVIRUSES
Contributions, Section of Natural, Mathematical and Biotechnical Sciences, 2018 Filoviruses are virulent pathogens that cause deadly haemorrhagic fever in humans and non-human primates. There is currently no approved drug or vaccine to tackle this disease. Two vaccine platforms that use adenovirus vectors have completed phase I studies, while a recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus-based vaccine has successfully complet-ed a ...

Intracellular Events and Cell Fate in Filovirus Infection [PDF]
, 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
