A TEENAGE girl has died from a brain-swelling bat virus which experts fear could be the ‘next pandemic’. The 18-year-old ...

Sudan Virus vs. Ebola: The Deadly Battle of Filoviruses Building on this discovery, the team predicted the receptor-binding affinities of three other filoviruses closely related to Sudan and Ebola.

A new study finds that the Sudan virus, a deadly Ebola relative, binds to human NPC1 receptors with nine times greater affinity than Ebola. Using cryo-electron microscopy, researchers mapped its ...

Scientists have developed a tool to narrow down potential host species of filoviruses like Ebola and better prioritize wildlife surveillance. Bats are widely recognized as the primary hosts of ...

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 ...

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, ...

Researchers have detailed the structure of the Ebola virus nucleocapsid using cryo-electron tomography. This discovery could guide the development of universal antiviral therapies targeting multiple ...

Soligenix, Inc. announced today that the Office of Orphan Products Development of the United States (U.S.) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted orphan drug designation to the active ...

Bats are natural hosts for coronaviruses – and a leading origin theory for the Covid-19 pandemic – but can also transmit a whole host of other diseases, such as rabies, Marburg filoviruses ...

Viral haemorrhagic fever, as caused by the highly virulent Ebola and Marburg filoviruses, has fatality rates of about 90% in humans. There are no licensed vaccines or therapeutics. In an important ...

The researchers identified 75 spillover events in 24 countries which caused more than 17,000 deaths, with most of the deaths caused by filoviruses in Africa.
