Genetic sequencing showed that several Ebola strains were involved, which indicated multiple introductions of virus into the animal populations. Transmission might have required exposure to fresh ...
The General Department of Preventive Medicine under the Ministry of Health has called for proactive measures to detect and prevent the entry of Marburg virus disease, a highly contagious Ebola-like ...
as this is the first report of Ebola virus disease in the region. Traditional practices in the area, such as the ritual bathing, touching, and kissing of corpses, have facilitated transmission.

Targeting Ebola virus -- and more As Watanabe explains, targeting the nucleocapsid spells game over for the virus. "If you don't have a nucleocapsid, nothing can happen.
In a new study, the researchers used cryo-electron tomography to examine Ebola virus’s molecular structure to uncover targets for broadly effective antivirals. This work is published in Cell ...
