Filoviruses are among the globe's most lethal—indeed, so dangerous they can be handled only in high-security laboratories. Yet, more than five decades after the discovery of the Marburg virus ...

If such spread were halted, the filoviruses would not present a major problem; and because of hygienic medical practices, they represent little or no natural threat to the developed world.

The filoviruses Ebola and Marburg use several different and effective mechanisms to both evade and battle the immune system. This Review explores recent findings in the filovirus–host-defence ...

Filoviruses represent a significant threat to human health, and more research is required to fully understand how they are transmitted, in order to develop better preventative techniques.

Knowing more about filoviruses in general could provide insight into which host species might serve as “reservoirs” that harbor undiscovered pathogens related to Ebola and Marburg, Taylor says. “When ...

Bats are widely recognized as the primary hosts of filoviruses, such as Ebola, yet the specific host species of ebolaviruses are not definitively known. In a study led by the University of California, ...

Decoding the blueprint of receptor binding by filoviruses through large-scale binding assays and machine learning. Cell Host & Microbe, 2025; DOI: 10.1016/j.chom.2024.12.016; ...

Filoviruses are negative-sense and single-stranded ribonucleic acid (RNA) viruses. The most well-known human-infecting filoviruses are marburgviruses and ebolaviruses. Infection can result in life ...

Researchers at La Jolla Institute for Immunology have detailed the structure of the Ebola virus nucleocapsid using cryo-electron tomography. This discovery could guide the development of universal ...
