Serological Evidence of Filovirus Infection in Nonhuman Primates in Zambia
Viruses, 2021 Ebolaviruses and marburgviruses are filoviruses that are known to cause severe hemorrhagic fever in humans and nonhuman primates (NHPs). While some bat species are suspected to be natural reservoirs of these filoviruses, wild NHPs often act as ...

Health Science Reports, Volume 6, Issue 7, July 2023., 2023 Abstract Marburg virus disease (MVD) caused by the Marburg virus has a high mortality rate. Rousettus aegyptiacus fruit bats act as the natural reservoir host of the virus. But it can also potentially be transmitted from person to person through direct contact with body secretions.

Investigating Infectious Organisms of Public Health Concern Associated with Wild Meat
Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 The wild meat trade poses a significant threat to public health as it facilitates the spillover of zoonotic pathogens through high‐risk activities such as the hunting, butchering, trade, and consumption of wild animals. Despite the health risks and association with marking epidemics including SARS, Ebola, and COVID‐19, the global wild meat trade ...

Marburgvirus: A Global Virus, not just an African problem
Journal of Advances in Internal Medicine, 2023 The Marburg virus (MBV) phylogenetically belongs to the filovirus family and its clinical picture, spread and virulence resemble the Ebola virus very closely. The marked virulence of MBV is of great concern for not only the African region, but the globe in its entirety as a recent outbreak of the virus from a lab handling African green monkeys has ...

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 11, Issue 3, March 2022., 2022 Abstract A vaccine antigen, when launched as DNA or RNA, can be presented in various forms, including intracellular, secreted, membrane‐bound, or on extracellular vesicles (EVs). Whether an antigen in one or more of these forms is superior in immune induction remains unclear.

Plasmodium berghei‐Mediated NRF2 Activation in Infected Hepatocytes Enhances Parasite Survival
Cellular Microbiology, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 The protozoan parasite Plasmodium, causative agent of malaria, initially invades and develops in hepatocytes where it resides in a parasitophorous vacuole (PV). A single invaded parasite develops into thousands of daughter parasites. Survival of the host cell is crucial for successful completion of liver stage development.
