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 ...

Scientists share detailed, complete images of a viral structure called the Ebola virus nucleocapsid. This breakthrough may accelerate the development of antivirals that target this viral structure to ...

Chinese researchers have unveiled a crucial mutation in the Ebola virus that significantly enhanced its infectivity during a ...

The study, published in the journal Cell, focused on the Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the ...

Ebola is a deadly hemorrhagic disease caused by a virus that is endemic in parts of East-Central and West Africa. Most people are aware that a primary route for person-to-person transmission is ...

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 ...

To study how Ebola virus moves through skin, the explants were placed dermal side down in culture media and virus particles were added to the media so that they entered the skin from the underside, ...

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 ...

Chinese scientists studying the 2018–2020 Ebola outbreak in Congo found a mutation, GP-V75A, that made the virus spread faster and infect cells more efficiently. The variant replaced earlier strains ...
