In December 2013, EBOV emerged in Guinea and quickly spread to several neighboring countries, resulting in the largest recorded outbreak of EVD in history. 1 On September 3, 2015, Liberia was ...

Interactions of EBOV with skin cells have not previously been extensively examined," says Wendy Maury, Ph.D., UI professor of microbiology and immunology, and senior author of the study.

We determined the overall rate of evolution for the EBOV Ituri variant in the ongoing North Kivu outbreak to be 0.8×10 −3 substitutions per genomic site per year (95% highest posterior density ...

Previous research has identified the presence of the Ebola virus (EBOV) on the surface of the skin during the latter stages of infection, but the details of how it got there were unclear.

The Ebola virus (EBOV) causes severe inflammation and tissue damage throughout the body, affecting the natural blood clotting mechanism, leading to internal bleeding, and ultimately death with ...

And while evidence suggests that EBOV can be passed on from skin contact with a person in the later stages of the disease, very little is known about how the virus makes its way out of the body ...

BOMV-ZsG and EBOV-ZsG infection was also prevented by Remdesivir, with EC50 values of 17nM and 6nM, respectively. The authors tested the ability of mAbs produced to target the EBOV glycoprotein to ...

EBOV has claimed the lives of over 4,000 people. The first fatality on American soil was recorded earlier this month in Dallas, Texas. The virus claimed the life of Thomas Eric Duncan, ...

All SK inhibitors prevented EBOV from trafficking to late-endosomes and/or lysosomes containing NPC1, indicating that SKs play critical roles in endosomal trafficking.

Researchers have traced a cellular route Ebola virus (EBOV) uses to traverse the inner and outer layers of skin and emerge onto the skin's surface. The study identifies new cell types within the ...
