Ebola virus disrupts the inner blood-retinal barrier by induction of vascular endothelial growth factor in pericytes.

PLoS Pathogens, 2023
Ebola virus (EBOV) causes severe hemorrhagic fever in humans with high mortality. In Ebola virus disease (EVD) survivors, EBOV persistence in the eyes may break through the inner blood-retinal barrier (iBRB), leading to ocular complications and EVD ...

Views of Health Professionals on the Contribution of Climate Change to the Transmission of Lassa Fever in Nigeria and the Implications for Risk Communication

Advances in Public Health, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Lassa fever is an acute viral haemorrhagic illness caused by the Lassa virus and is mainly spread through direct and indirect human–rodent interaction. In Nigeria, Lassa fever outbreaks are becoming more frequent, and studies suggest that changes in climatic and ecological conditions will exacerbate these trends. It is crucial that health professionals

Integration of SFTSV Viral Load, Age, and Double‐Negative B‐Cells as Prognostic Biomarkers for Severe Fever With Thrombocytopenia Syndrome Outcomes

Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is a tick‐borne viral illness with high mortality, yet early risk stratification remains challenging. Recent evidence suggests that B‐cell dysregulation contributes to disease severity. Methods A cohort of 168 patients with confirmed SFTS was retrospectively analyzed. Flow cytometry was used

Ebola viral hemorrhagic fever

Journal of Health Policy & Outcomes Research, 2014
Pathogens causing transmissible viral hemorrhagic fevers are therefore classified internationally at the most dangerous hazard level. Most of them may be transmitted through the respiratory tract into human being. For this reason aerosol dissemination of viral pathogens may be considered as biological weapon.
