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
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

Les virus Ebola (EBOV) et Marburg (MARV) causent des fièvres hémorragiques chez les primates, y compris l’homme. Le taux de létalité peut atteindre 90% et il n’existe ni vaccin ni traitement contre ces virus. En raison de leurs caractéristiques moléculaires communes, EBOV et MARV sont regroupés au sein de la famille des Filoviridae.

Local Mutational Pressures in Genomes of Zaire Ebolavirus and Marburg Virus
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 ...

A review of epidemiological parameters from Ebola outbreaks to inform early public health decision-making. [PDF]
The unprecedented scale of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa has, as of 29 April 2015, resulted in more than 10,884 deaths among 26,277 cases. Prior to the ongoing outbreak, Ebola virus disease (EVD) caused relatively small outbreaks (maximum outbreak ...

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.

Presence and persistence of Ebola or Marburg virus in patients and survivors: A rapid systematic review [PDF]
Background: The 2013-15 Ebola outbreak was unprecedented due to sustainedtransmission within urban environments and thousands of survivors. In 2014 the World Health Organization stated that there was insufficient evidence to give definitive guidance ...
