In the shadows of Python Cave, Uganda, a leopard leaps from a guano mound—formed by bat excrement—and sinks its teeth into a ...

Ebola viruses (EBOVs) assemble into filamentous virions, whose shape and stability are determined by the matrix viral protein 40 (VP40). Virus entry into host cells occurs via membrane fusion in late ...

A 2022 Sudan virus outbreak also in Uganda resulted in 164 cases and 77 deaths (a fatality rate of 47%). There are no treatments or vaccines against the Sudan virus.

This is the first trial to assess the clinical efficacy of a vaccine against Ebola Sudan virus disease. IAVI, the provider of the vaccine, conducted trials for safety and immunogenicity.

The Sudan and Ebola viruses both come from the orthoebolavirus family, but they have different proteins and genetic components, so the immune response to each virus is different.

Sudan virus disease is essentially a disease very similar to Ebola. The Ebola virus has caused several high-profile outbreaks. The west Africa 2014-16 outbreak was the largest with 28,600 cases ...

Scientists analyzed virus isolates from the ongoing outbreak and found no link to Uganda’s previous outbreak in 2022–23, which resulted in 164 cases of Sudan virus disease and 55 deaths. (The ...

Ebola virus disease (EVD) — named after the river — is the deadliest form of the virus. It has a survival rate of 10% of cases. Sudan virus disease (SVD) causes death in about 50% of cases.

The Sudan virus, a close relative of Ebola, has a 50% fatality rate, but its mechanisms of cell infection remain poorly understood. Currently, there are no approved treatments for the Sudan virus.

The Sudan virus, a close relative of Ebola, has a fatality rate of 50% but remains poorly understood in terms of how it infects cells. Currently, no approved treatments exist. To address this critical ...
