A Call to Action to Enhance Filovirus Disease Outbreak Preparedness and Response
Viruses, 2014 The frequency and magnitude of recognized and declared filovirus-disease outbreaks have increased in recent years, while pathogenic filoviruses are potentially ubiquitous throughout sub-Saharan Africa.

Outbreak of Marburg hemorrhagic fever among miners in Kamwenge and Ibanda Districts, Uganda, 2007 [PDF]
, 2011 Marburg hemorrhagic fever was detected among 4 miners in Ibanda District, Uganda, from June through September, 2007. Infection was likely acquired through exposure to bats or bat secretions in a mine in Kamwenge District, Uganda, and possibly human-to ...

Key Genomic Changes Necessary for an In Vivo Lethal Mouse Marburgvirus Variant Selection Process [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 2011 ABSTRACT Marburgvirus (MARV) infections are generally lethal in humans and nonhuman primates but require in vivo lethal mouse variant selection by the serial transfer (passage) of the nonlethal virus into naïve mice to propagate a lethal infection.

Anticipating the species jump: surveillance for emerging viral threats. [PDF]
, 2012 Zoonotic disease surveillance is typically triggered after animal pathogens have already infected humans. Are there ways to identify high-risk viruses before they emerge in humans? If so, then how and where can identifications be made and by what methods?

Evidence that ebolaviruses and cuevaviruses have been diverging from marburgviruses since the Miocene [PDF]
PeerJ, 2014 An understanding of the timescale of evolution is critical for comparative virology but remains elusive for many RNA viruses. Age estimates based on mutation rates can severely underestimate divergences for ancient viral genes that are evolving under ...

Lyophilisation of influenza, rabies and Marburg lentiviral pseudotype viruses for the development and distribution of a neutralisation-assay based diagnostic kit [PDF]
, 2014 Pseudotype viruses (PVs) are chimeric, replication-deficient virions that mimic wild-type virus entry mechanisms and can be safely employed in neutralisation assays, bypassing the need for high biosafety requirements and performing comparably to ...

Advances in Virology, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018 Advances in the next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have significantly increased our ability to detect new viral pathogens and systematically determine the spectrum of viruses prevalent in various biological samples. In addition, this approach has also helped in establishing the associations of viromes with many diseases.

The role of cellular adhesion molecules in virus attachment and entry [PDF]
, 2015 As obligate intracellular parasites, viruses must traverse the host-cell plasma membrane to initiate infection. This presents a formidable barrier, which they have evolved diverse strategies to overcome.

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.
