Despite its isolation three decades ago, Ebola virus continues to cause periodic outbreaks of severe hemorrhagic fever in humans, and the closely related Marburg virus is responsible for a recent ...

A new study reveals the biological secret to the Zika virus's infectious success: Zika uses host cells' own "self-care" ...

To enter a human cell, an ebolavirus glycoprotein has to attach ... This work can guide future surveillance efforts to identify the host reservoir of Ebola virus and other related viruses. As new ...

Once inside a host cell, the Ebola virus, for example, hijacks molecular pathways to replicate itself and eventually make its way back out of the cell into the bloodstream, where it can spread further ...

Our results provide first insights into the host response of primary human liver cells upon Ebola virus infection," Mostoslavsky and Mühlberger said about the study.

Marburg virus causes the Marburg Virus Disease ... It is spread through contact with materials (fluids, blood, tissues and cells) of an infected host or reservoir. In the case of the monkeys ...

The host enzyme Xkr8 is transported to the Ebola virus budding site along with viral glycoprotein(GP) and then incorporated to the viral envelope. Xkr8 flips PS from the inner layer to the outer ...
