Marburgvirus in Egyptian Fruit Bats, Zambia [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2019 We detected Marburg virus genome in Egyptian fruit bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus) captured in Zambia in September 2018. The virus was closely related phylogenetically to the viruses that previously caused Marburg outbreaks in the Democratic Republic of the

Experimental Inoculation of Egyptian Rousette Bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus) with Viruses of the Ebolavirus and Marburgvirus Genera [PDF]
Viruses, 2015 The Egyptian rousette bat (Rousettus aegyptiacus) is a natural reservoir for marburgviruses and a consistent source of virus spillover to humans. Cumulative evidence suggests various bat species may also transmit ebolaviruses.

Marburgvirus Resurgence in Kitaka Mine Bat Population after Extermination Attempts, Uganda
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2014 To the Editor: Marburg virus (MARV) and Ravn virus (RAVV), collectively called marburgviruses, cause Marburg hemorrhagic fever (MHF) in humans. In July 2007, 4 cases of MHF (1 fatal) occurred in miners at Kitaka Mine in southern Uganda. Later, MHF occurred in 2 tourists who visited Python Cave, ≈50 km from Kitaka Mine.

Preliminary Investigation of Schmalhausen’s Law in a Directly Transmitted Pathogen Outbreak System [PDF]
Viruses, 2023 The past few decades have been marked by drastic modifications to the landscape by anthropogenic processes, leading to increased variability in the environment. For populations that thrive at their distributional boundaries, these changes can affect them

Development of a Pan-Filoviridae SYBR Green qPCR Assay for Biosurveillance Studies in Bats [PDF]
Viruses, 2023 Recent studies have indicated that bats are hosts to diverse filoviruses. Currently, no pan-filovirus molecular assays are available that have been evaluated for the detection of all mammalian filoviruses.

Implementation of Objective PASC-Derived Taxon Demarcation Criteria for Official Classification of Filoviruses [PDF]
Viruses, 2017 The mononegaviral family Filoviridae has eight members assigned to three genera and seven species. Until now, genus and species demarcation were based on arbitrarily chosen filovirus genome sequence divergence values (≈50% for genera, ≈30% for species ...

Identification of Filovirus Entry Inhibitors from Marine Fungus-Derived Indole Alkaloids [PDF]
Marine DrugsFiloviruses, mainly consisting of the two genera of Ebolavirus and Marburgvirus, are enveloped negative-strand RNA viruses that can infect humans to cause severe hemorrhagic fevers and outbreaks with high mortality rates.
