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%.

Mathematical modelling of the transmission dynamics of Marburg virus disease with optimal control and cost-effectiveness analysis based on lessons from Ebola virus disease

Advances in Continuous and Discrete Models
Marburg virus, like Ebola, causes haemorrhagic disease with high fatality rates. We developed a deterministic SEIRDVT model incorporating vaccination and treatment to study the disease dynamics. Qualitative analysis revealed a backward bifurcation when R

Six Injections of Modified Adjuvanted PQ Grass Is Effective and Well‐Tolerated in a Pivotal Phase III Trial

Allergy, EarlyView.
A pivotal Phase III DBPC adaptive trial was conducted with PQ Grass 27600 SU. The primary endpoint EAACI‐CSMS0–6 demonstrated a highly significant, clinically meaningful improvement for PQ Grass of −0.27 points (95% CI: −0.42 to −0.12), corresponding to a relative difference of −20.3% (p = 0.0005) over placebo. Highly consistent secondary endpoints and

Marburg virus: an emerging global threat

Journal of Zoonotic Diseases
Marburg virus disease is a rare, but severe illness caused by highly pathogenic Marburg virus, a member of the Filoviridae family. The virus was first identified in 1967 in Marburg and Frankfurt, Germany, as well as Belgrade, Serbia.

Development of an Immunochromatography Assay to Detect Marburg Virus and Ravn Virus

Viruses, 2023
The recent outbreaks of Marburg virus disease (MVD) in Guinea, Ghana, Equatorial Guinea, and Tanzania, none of which had reported previous outbreaks, imply increasing risks of spillover of the causative viruses, Marburg virus (MARV) and Ravn virus (RAVV),

Marburg virus disease: lesson learned from the first outbreak encounter in Tanzania

International Journal of Surgery: Global Health, 2023
Viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHFs) have been of public health threat globally for years due to their nature of occurrence as outbreaks. Most of them are of zoonotic concern characterized by outbreaks, some interepidemic, which are hard to predict.

Impacts of bat use of anthropogenic structures on bats and humans

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Human‐induced landscape modifications and climate change are forcing wildlife into closer contact with humans as the availability of natural habitats decreases. Although the importance of anthropogenic structures for the conservation of species is widely recognized, negative narratives surrounding bats may impede conservation efforts in human ...

Genomic Evolution and Phylodynamics of the Species Orthomarburgvirus marburgense (Marburg and Ravn Viruses) to Understand Viral Adaptation and Marburg Virus Disease’s Transmission Dynamics

Pathogens
In this review, we investigated the genetic diversity and evolutionary dynamics of the Orthomarburgvirus marburgense species that includes both Marburg virus (MARV) and Ravn virus (RAVV).
