Filoviruses—such as Ebola and Marburg viruses—can cause hemorrhagic fevers with up to 90% lethality. Not only that, but there are very few tools (vaccines or drugs) to combat them. Now, scientists at ...

Ebola virus executes its replication cycle through a tightly orchestrated sequence of events, but the host factors that govern the timing of these steps have remained poorly defined. In this talk, I ...

The research team, led by Maury and Kelly Messingham, PhD, UI research professor of dermatology, developed a new approach to examine which cells within the skin are infected by Ebola virus.They ...

A recent study published in PLOS Pathogens examined two newly identified nanobodies, Nanosota-EB1 and Nanosota-EB2, as potential inhibitors of the Ebola virus. The research evaluated the ability of ...

Bats are widely recognized as the primary hosts of filoviruses, such as Ebola, yet the specific host species of ebolaviruses are not definitively known. In a study led by the University of California, ...

The Ebola virus devastated west Africa in 2014, claiming over 11,000 lives in Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea. It was the largest Ebola outbreak since the virus had first been discovered in the ...
