Molecular insights into nucleocapsid assembly and transport in Marburg and Ebola viruses [PDF]
Live-cell imaging enables visualization of the spatiotemporal dynamics of signals in cells. Intracytoplasmic movement of nucleocapsids is crucial during the life cycle of enveloped viruses; however, the molecular mechanisms governing their assembly and ...

Marburg Virus VP30 Is Required for Transcription Initiation at the Glycoprotein Gene
Marburg virus (MARV) is an enveloped, negative-sense RNA virus from the filovirus family that causes outbreaks of severe, frequently fatal illness in humans. Of the seven MARV proteins, the VP30 protein stands out because it is essential for viral growth

Protective mAbs and Cross-Reactive mAbs Raised by Immunization with Engineered Marburg Virus GPs. [PDF]
The filoviruses, which include the marburg- and ebolaviruses, have caused multiple outbreaks among humans this decade. Antibodies against the filovirus surface glycoprotein (GP) have been shown to provide life-saving therapy in nonhuman primates, but ...

Marburg Virus Persistence on Fruit as a Plausible Route of Bat to Primate Filovirus Transmission
Marburg virus (MARV), the causative agent of Marburg virus disease, emerges sporadically in sub-Saharan Africa and is often fatal in humas. The natural reservoir for this zoonotic virus is the frugivorous Egyptian rousette bat (Rousettus aegyptiacus ...

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