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

Structures of Marburgvirus glycoprotein and its complex with NPC1 receptor [PDF]
NatureAbstract Marburgviruses (MBVs) cause severe haemorrhagic fever with higher fatality rates than Ebola virus (EBOV) 1–4 . Here we show that the MBV glycoprotein (GP) mediates viral entry more efficiently than EBOV GP.

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.

Recent advances in marburgvirus research [version 1; peer review: 3 approved] [PDF]
F1000Research, 2019 Marburgviruses are closely related to ebolaviruses and cause a devastating disease in humans. In 2012, we published a comprehensive review of the first 45 years of research on marburgviruses and the disease they cause, ranging from molecular biology to ...

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

Ebolavirus and Marburgvirus: Insight the Filoviridae family [PDF]
Molecular Aspects of Medicine, 2008 Ebolavirus and Marburgvirus (belonging to the Filoviridae family) emerged four decades ago and cause epidemics of haemorrhagic fever with high case-fatality rates. The genome of filoviruses encodes seven proteins. No significant homology is observed between filovirus proteins and any known macromolecule.

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.

Marburgvirus Genomics and Association with a Large Hemorrhagic Fever Outbreak in Angola [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 2006 ABSTRACT In March 2005, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) investigated a large hemorrhagic fever (HF) outbreak in Uige Province in northern Angola, West Africa. In total, 15 initial specimens were sent to CDC, Atlanta, Ga., for testing for viruses associated with viral HFs known to be present in West Africa ...
