Living with Bats: The Case of Ve Golokuati Township in the Volta Region of Ghana
Journal of Environmental and Public Health, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017 Transmission of zoonotic pathogens from bats to humans through direct and indirect contact with bats raises public apprehension about living close to bats. In the township of Ve Golokuati in Ghana, several “camps” of Epomophorus gambianus roost in fruit trees that provide ecosystems services for residents.

Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015 Ebola virus is responsible for causing severe hemorrhagic fevers, with case fatality rates of up to 90%. Currently, no antiviral or vaccine is licensed against Ebola virus. A phosphatidylserine‐targeting antibody (PGN401, bavituximab) has previously been shown to have broad‐spectrum antiviral activity.

Land Use Change and Infectious Disease Emergence
Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 63, Issue 2, June 2025.Abstract Major infectious diseases threatening human health are transmitted to people from animals or by arthropod vectors such as insects. In recent decades, disease outbreaks have become more common, especially in tropical regions, including new and emerging infections that were previously undetected or unknown. Even though there is growing awareness

Local Mutational Pressures in Genomes of Zaire Ebolavirus and Marburg Virus
Advances in Bioinformatics, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015 Heterogeneities in nucleotide content distribution along the length of Zaire ebolavirus and Marburg virus genomes have been analyzed. Results showed that there is asymmetric mutational A‐pressure in the majority of Zaire ebolavirus genes; there is mutational AC‐pressure in the coding region of the matrix protein VP40, probably, caused by its high ...

BioMed Research International, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 For a given West African country, we constructed a model describing the spread of the deathly disease called Ebola hemorrhagic fever. The model was first constructed using the classical derivative and then converted to the generalized version using the beta‐derivative.

Vaccinomics strategy for developing a unique multi-epitope monovalent vaccine against Marburg marburgvirus [PDF]
Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2018 Marburg virus causes severe hemorrhagic fever in both humans and non-human primates with high degree of infectivity and lethality. To date no approved treatment is available for Marburg virus infection. A study was employed to design a novel chimeric vaccine against Marburg virus by adopting reverse vaccinology approach.
