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 ...

The Study of Viral RNA Diversity in Bird Samples Using De Novo Designed Multiplex Genus‐Specific Primer Panels

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.

Exploratory Temporal and Evolutionary Insights into the Filoviridae Family Through Multiprotein Phylogeny

Microorganisms
Filoviruses are among the most lethal viral human pathogens known, with significant relevance to public health, yet their evolutionary history remains poorly resolved.

Factors Associated with Marburg Hemorrhagic Fever: [PDF]

, 2010
Background. Reliable on-site polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing for Marburg hemorrhagic fever (MHF) is not always available. Therefore, clinicians triage patients on the basis of presenting symptoms and contact history.

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.

Effective Binding of a Phosphatidylserine‐Targeting Antibody to Ebola Virus Infected Cells and Purified Virions

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.

Marburg virus outbreaks in Africa

Bulletin of the National Research Centre, 2023
Marburg virus disease (MVD) is a zoonotic viral hemorrhagic illness, caused by a negative sense, single-stranded RNA virus which has an envelope. The Marburg virus belongs to the genus Marburgvirus of the family Filoviridae.

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 ...
