Phylogenetic assessment of filoviruses: how many lineages of Marburg virus?

Filoviruses have to date been considered as consisting of one diverse genus (Ebola viruses) and one undifferentiated genus (Marburg virus). We reconsider this idea by means of detailed phylogenetic analyses of sequence data available for the Filoviridae: using coalescent simulations, we ascertain that two Marburg isolates (termed the "RAVN" strain) represent a quite-distinct lineage that should...

Analysis of Ebola Glycoprotein Sequences from Strains of Varying Lethality

Ebola virus is one of only two known members of a family of RNA viruses, the Filoviridae. (The other member is the Marburg virus.) The Filoviridae consists of enveloped viruses containing a non-segmented negative-stranded RNA genome. The Ebola genome shows a linear gene arrangement in the order 3' untranslated region -nucleoprotein (NP) -viral structural protein -(VP) 35 -VP40 -glycoprotein (GP...

Filovirus-like particles as vaccines and discovery tools.

Ebola and Marburg viruses are members of the family Filoviridae, which cause severe hemorrhagic fevers in humans. Filovirus outbreaks have been sporadic, with mortality rates currently ranging from 30 to 90%. Unfortunately, there is no efficacious human therapy or vaccine available to treat disease caused by either Ebola or Marburg virus infection. Expression of the filovirus matrix protein, VP...

Vaccine to confer to nonhuman primates complete protection against multistrain Ebola and Marburg virus infections.

Filoviruses (Ebola and Marburg viruses) are among the deadliest viruses known to mankind, with mortality rates nearing 90%. These pathogens are highly infectious through contact with infected body fluids and can be easily aerosolized. Additionally, there are currently no licensed vaccines available to prevent filovirus outbreaks. Their high mortality rates and infectious capabilities when aeros...
