Known for its devastating outbreaks and high fatality rates in sub-Saharan Africa, Ebola has long been a major concern for global public health. Now, researchers have gained deeper insights into the ...

New research in the journal Nature Communications gives scientists an important window into how Ebola virus replicates inside host cells. The study, led by scientists at La Jolla Institute for ...

“Previous epidemics, such as the 1996 Ebola epidemic, were associated with organ failure, including lung failure, but no direct studies in humans had showed evidence of Ebola virus replication in the ...

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 ...

Viruses like influenza A and Ebola invade human cells in a number of steps. In an interdisciplinary approach, research teams from Heidelberg University and Heidelberg University Hospital investigated ...

Medical virology has evolved into a multidisciplinary field that encompasses fundamental studies of viral diversity, pathogenesis and host–pathogen interactions, as well as the development of advanced ...

The Ebola virus (EBOV) matrix protein VP40 drives budding of virions and encodes 2 overlapping late domain motifs at amino acid positions 7–13 (PTAPPEY). However, these motifs are not absolutely ...
