Scientists discover new species of Ebola virus
Scientists report the discovery of a new species of Ebola virus, provisionally named Bundibugyo ebolavirus, November 21 in the open-access journal PLoS Pathogens. view more (2008-11-21)
Early promise for treatment of Ebola (p 1953)
Embargoed 0001 h (London time) 12 December 2003. Preliminary findings of an animal study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that scientists have taken an important step towards a possible treatment strategy for the deadly Ebola virus. Haemorragic fever from the Ebola virus is fatal in up to 80%of cases in humans. The virus is thought to... view more... (2003-12-10)
Penn scientists find a protein that inhibits Ebola from reaching out to infect neighboring cells
Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine have identified a protein, ISG15, that inhibits the Ebola virus from budding, the process by which viruses escape from cells and spread to infect neighboring cells. view more (2008-03-04)
Combination vaccine protects monkeys from ebola and Marburg viruses
An experimental, combination vaccine against Ebola and Marburg viruses using virus-like particles (VLPs) provides complete protection against infection in monkeys. view more (2008-02-27)
Scripps research scientists reveal key structure from ebola virus
Described in the July 10, 2008 issue of the journal Nature, the research reveals the shape of the Ebola virus spike protein, which is necessary for viral entry into human cells, bound to an immune system antibody acting to neutralize the virus. view more (2008-07-10)
Gene-specific Ebola therapies protect non-human primates from lethal disease
Scientists have developed a successful strategy for interfering with Ebola virus infection that protected 75 percent of nonhuman primates exposed to the lethal disease. view more (2006-01-13)
Scientists uncover Ebola cell-invasion strategy
University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston researchers have discovered a key biochemical link in the process by which the Ebola Zaire virus infects cells - a critical step to finding a way to treat the deadly disease produced by the virus. view more (2008-09-04)
Penn Study Identifies How Ebola Virus Avoids the Immune System
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have likely found one reason why the Ebola virus is such a powerful, deadly, and effective virus. Using a cell culture model for Ebola virus infection, they have discovered that the virus disables a cellular protein called tetherin that normally can block the spread of virus from... view more...

Vaccine for Ebola virus
One of the world's deadliest diseases, caused by the Ebola virus, may finally be preventable thanks to US and Canadian researchers, who have successfully tested several Ebola vaccines in primates and are now looking to adapt them for human use. view more (2008-03-31)
Iowa State University researchers discover structure of key Ebola protein
Research led by Iowa State University scientists has them a step closer to finding a way to counter the Ebola virus. view more (2009-01-13)
A European project leads to a new diagnosis of the Ebola fever
Research teams involved in a European project have developed and tested in epidemic conditions a new diagnosis technique of infections by the Ebola virus. This has been achieved while a new haemorrhagic Ebola fever epidemic is striking Gabon since December. For Research Commissioner Philippe Busquin, "this advance shows the interest of an... view more... (2002-02-26)
Gorilla susceptibility to Ebola virus: the cost of sociality
By monitoring a large population of gorillas during an Ebola outbreak in the rain forest of the Republic of the Congo, researchers have found that in a few months the virus exhibited dramatic—but disproportionate—impacts on group-dwelling and solitary gorillas. view more (2006-07-11)
Scientists block Ebola infection in cell-culture experiments
Researchers at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston have discovered two biochemical pathways that the Ebola virus relies on to infect cells. view more (2009-06-24)
Ebola virus disarmed by excising a single gene
The deadly Ebola virus, an emerging public health concern in Africa and a potential biological weapon, ranks among the most feared of exotic pathogens. view more (2008-01-22)
Ebola outbreaks killing thousands of gorillas and chimpanzees
Why have large outbreaks of Ebola virus killed tens of thousands of gorillas and chimpanzees over the last decade? Observations published in the May issue of The American Naturalist provide new clues, suggesting that outbreaks may be amplified by Ebola transmission between ape social groups. view more (2007-04-17)
Ebola virus a threat to great ape populations
The Ebola virus, identified for the first time in 1976 in the Democratic Republic of Congo (ex-Zaire), has unleashed several lethal epidemics in Central Africa. For several years, many outbreaks have been occurring simultaneously in the Republic of Congo and Gabon, making the control of Ebola virus infection a major public health priority for... view more...

Charting the path of the deadly Ebola virus in central Africa
Over the past ten years, separate outbreaks of the deadly Zaire strain of Ebola virus (ZEBOV) have killed hundreds of humans and tens of thousands of great apes in Gabon and the Republic of Congo-which harbor roughly 80% of the last remaining wild gorilla and chimpanzee populations. view more (2005-10-25)
Ebola virus: from wildlife to dogs
Ebola virus infection in humans provokes a violent haemorrhagic fever. It usually flares up as intense epidemics. These kill 80 % of the people infected. Seven such outbreaks have hit Gabon and the Republic of Congo since 1994, leading to 445 cases resulting in 361 deaths. Ebola virus thus constitutes a grave public health problem in these... view more... (2005-04-04)
Pattern of Human Ebola Outbreaks
A visiting biologist at the University of California, San Diego and her colleagues in Africa and Britain have shown that there are close linkages between outbreaks of Ebola hemorrhagic fever in human and wildlife populations, and that climate may influence the spread of the disease. view more (2006-11-16)
Researchers report breakthrough against world's deadliest viruses
Scientists from the Public Health Agency of Canada-with assistance from the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases-have developed vaccines against the Ebola and Marburg viruses that have been shown to be effective in non-human primates. view more (2005-06-06)
