How severe and prevalent are Ebola and Marburg viruses? A systematic review and meta-analysis of the case fatality rates and seroprevalence

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2016
Background Ebola and Marburg virus diseases are said to occur at a low prevalence, but are very severe diseases with high lethalities. The fatality rates reported in different outbreaks ranged from 24–100%.

Protein nanoparticles assemble in plants, display antigenic viral peptides, and produce an epitope‐specific immune response

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Current methods to control porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome, a disease affecting pigs, are insufficient and a safer, more effective vaccine is needed. This study describes the design and plant production of a self‐assembling protein nanoparticle vaccine candidate against this disease.

Crystal Structure of Marburg Virus VP24 [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 2014
ABSTRACT The VP24 protein plays an essential, albeit poorly understood role in the filovirus life cycle. VP24 is only 30% identical between Marburg virus and the ebolaviruses. Furthermore, VP24 from the ebolaviruses is immunosuppressive, while that of Marburg virus is not.

Evaluation of coagulation activation after Rhinovirus infection in patients with asthma and healthy control subjects: an observational study [PDF]

, 2014
Background Asthma exacerbations are frequently triggered by rhinovirus infections. Both asthma and respiratory tract infection can activate haemostasis. Therefore we hypothesized that experimental rhinovirus-16 infection and asthmatic airway inflammation

Preimaginal development of Aedes aegypti L. (Diptera: Culicidae) in brackish water gives rise to adult mosquitoes with thicker cuticles and greater insecticide resistance

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
The principal arboviral vector Aedes aegypti can develop in coastal brackish water field habitats (0.5–15 g/L salt) with larvae possessing thicker cuticles and greater resistance to the larvicide Temephos. Females emerging from brackish water‐developing preimaginal stages are now shown to have thicker and remodelled leg and abdominal cuticles and ...

Carbohydrate structure of Marburg virus glycoprotein [PDF]

Glycobiology, 1992
Marburg virus was propagated in E6 cells, a cloned cell line of Vero cells, in the presence of [6-3H]glucosamine. Radiolabelled viral glycoprotein was digested with trypsin, and oligosaccharides were liberated by sequential treatment with endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H, peptide-N4-(N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminyl)asparagine amidase F and O-glycosidase,

Plasma proteomic profiling and molecular clustering reveal immune‐defined prognostic subtypes in lung adenocarcinoma

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 158, Issue 4, Page 858-865, 15 February 2026.
What's new? Lung adenocarcinoma shows considerable heterogeneity in disease progression and therapeutic response. Here, the authors analyzed tumor samples through proteomic profiling and applied network‐based clustering. They identified two distinct patient groups with different demographic, clinical, and molecular characteristics.

Lyophilisation of lentiviral pseudotypes for the development and distribution of virus neutralisation assay kits for rabies, Marburg and influenza viruses [PDF]

, 2014
Purpose: Some conventional serological assays can accurately quantify neutralising antibody responses raised against epitopes on virus glycoproteins, enabling mass vaccine evaluation and serosurveillance studies to take place. However, these assays often
