Ebola Reston Virus Infection of Pigs: Clinical Significance and Transmission Potential [PDF]

The Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2011
In 2008, Reston ebolavirus (REBOV) was isolated from pigs during a disease investigation in the Philippines. Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) and porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV-2) infections were also confirmed in affected herds and the contribution of REBOV to the disease outbreak remains uncertain.

Ebola Virus Antibodies in Fruit Bats, Bangladesh

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2013
To determine geographic range for Ebola virus, we tested 276 bats in Bangladesh. Five (3.5%) bats were positive for antibodies against Ebola Zaire and Reston viruses; no virus was detected by PCR.

Serological evidence of ebolavirus infection in bats, China

Virology Journal, 2012
Background The genus Ebolavirus of the family Filoviridae currently consists of five species. All species, with the exception of Reston ebolavirus, have been found in Africa and caused severe human diseases.

Ebola-Reston virus in pigs [PDF]

Microbiology Australia, 2009
Ebolavirus Reston was detected in samples taken from pigs on two farms in the northern Philippines in mid-2008. This was the first known case of any of the filoviruses being detected in pigs anywhere in the world. Previously, filoviruses have only been isolated from humans and non-human primates, although serological evidence indicates that bats may ...

Protective mAbs and Cross-Reactive mAbs Raised by Immunization with Engineered Marburg Virus GPs. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2015
The filoviruses, which include the marburg- and ebolaviruses, have caused multiple outbreaks among humans this decade. Antibodies against the filovirus surface glycoprotein (GP) have been shown to provide life-saving therapy in nonhuman primates, but ...

Investigating the Cellular Transcriptomic Response Induced by the Makona Variant of Ebola Virus in Differentiated THP-1 Cells

Viruses, 2019
Recent studies have shown that transcriptomic analysis of blood samples taken from patients with acute Ebola virus disease (EVD) during the 2013−2016 West African outbreak was suggestive that a severe inflammatory response took place in acutely ill

Ebola hemorrhagic fever outbreaks: strategies for effective epidemic management, containment and control

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2015
Ebola hemorrhagic fever, caused by the highly virulent RNA virus of the filoviridae family, has become one of the world's most feared pathogens. The virus induces acute fever and death, often associated with hemorrhagic symptoms in up to 90% of infected ...

In vivo characterization of the novel ebolavirus Bombali virus suggests a low pathogenic potential for humans

Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2023
Ebolaviruses cause outbreaks of haemorrhagic fever in Central and West Africa. Some members of this genus such as Ebola virus (EBOV) are highly pathogenic, with case fatality rates of up to 90%, whereas others such as Reston virus (RESTV) are apathogenic
