Development of a Crystallographic Screening to Identify Sudan Virus VP40 Ligands. [PDF]

open access: yesACS Omega
The matrix protein VP40 of the highly pathogenic Sudan virus (genus Orthoebolavirus) is a multifunctional protein responsible for the recruitment of viral nucleocapsids to the plasma membrane and the budding of infectious virions. In addition to its role in assembly, VP40 also downregulates viral genome replication and transcription.

An Antibody Cocktail Combats The Deadly Ebola Virus And Sudan Virus

open access: yesTheScienceBreaker, 2023
There are several deadly viruses in the ebola virus family, but current antibody treatments are effective against only one. Our work discovered two antibodies from human survivors, and their benefit when combined together in a cocktail, to provide broader protection at a lower dose. We reveal surprising findings of how they act to achieve protection.

Phylogenetic and Ecologic Perspectives of a Monkeypox Outbreak, Southern Sudan, 2005

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2013
Identification of human monkeypox cases during 2005 in southern Sudan (now South Sudan) raised several questions about the natural history of monkeypox virus (MPXV) in Africa. The outbreak area, characterized by seasonally dry riverine grasslands, is not

Development and Characterization of a Guinea Pig-Adapted Sudan Virus [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Virology, 2016
ABSTRACT Infections with Sudan virus (SUDV), a member of the genus Ebolavirus , result in a severe hemorrhagic fever with a fatal outcome in over 50% of human cases. The paucity of prophylactics and therapeutics against SUDV is attributed to the lack of a small-animal model to screen promising compounds ...

A Serological Survey of Akabane Virus Infection in Cattle in Sudan [PDF]

open access: yesISRN Veterinary Science, 2014
A cross-sectional survey was carried out in ten states in Sudan to determine seroprevalence and to assess risk factors associated with Akabane virus (AKAV) infection in dairy herds. Serum samples were collected from a total of 361 dairy cattle and tested for antibodies against AKAV using ELISA.

An immunoinformatics-derived DNA vaccine encoding human class II T cell epitopes of Ebola virus, Sudan virus, and Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus is immunogenic in HLA transgenic mice

open access: yesHuman Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2017
Immunoinformatics tools were used to predict human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II-restricted T cell epitopes within the envelope glycoproteins and nucleocapsid proteins of Ebola virus (EBOV) and Sudan virus (SUDV) and the structural proteins of ...
