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 ...

Animal models for Ebola and Marburg virus infections [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013 Ebola and Marburg hemorrhagic fevers (EHF and MHF) are caused by the Filoviridae family, Ebolavirus and Marburgvirus (ebolavirus and marburgvirus), respectively. These severe diseases have high mortality rates in humans.

Viruses, 2019 We explore evolved soybean ascorbate peroxidase (APEX2) as a reporter when fused to the C-termini of llama nanobodies (single-domain antibodies, sdAb; variable domains of heavy chain-only antibodies, VHH) targeted to the E. coli periplasm.

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

Ebolavirus Δ-Peptide Immunoadhesins Inhibit Marburgvirus and Ebolavirus Cell Entry [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 2011 ABSTRACT With the exception of Reston and Lloviu viruses, filoviruses (marburgviruses, ebolaviruses, and “cuevaviruses”) cause severe viral hemorrhagic fevers in humans. Filoviruses use a class I fusion protein, GP 1,2 , to bind to an unknown, but shared, cell surface receptor to initiate virus-cell fusion.

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.

Unveiling a Drift Resistant Cryptotope within Marburgvirus Nucleoprotein Recognized by Llama Single-Domain Antibodies [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2017 Marburg virus (MARV) is a highly lethal hemorrhagic fever virus that is increasingly re-emerging in Africa, has been imported to both Europe and the US, and is also a Tier 1 bioterror threat.

Discovery of common marburgvirus protective epitopes in a BALB/c mouse model [PDF]
Virology Journal, 2009 Background Marburg virus (MARV) causes acute hemorrhagic fever that is often lethal, and no licensed vaccines are available for preventing this deadly viral infection.

Untersuchungen zur Rolle des VP24 im Vermehrungszyklus des Marburgvirus
, 2005 The highly pathogenic enveloped Marburgvirus (MARV) is composed of seven structural proteins and the nonsegmented negative-sensed viral RNA genome. Four proteins (NP, VP35, VP30, and L) make up the helical nucleocapsid complex which is surrounded by a matrix that is composed of VP40 and VP24.

Development of a model for marburgvirus based on severe-combined immunodeficiency mice [PDF]
Virology Journal, 2007 The filoviruses, Ebola (EBOV) and Marburg (MARV), cause a lethal hemorrhagic fever. Human isolates of MARV are not lethal to immmunocompetent adult mice and, to date, there are no reports of a mouse-adapted MARV model. Previously, a uniformly lethal EBOV-
