Filovirus Disease Outbreaks: A Chronological Overview

Abstract: Filoviruses cause outbreaks which lead to high fatality in humans and non-human primates, thus tagging them as major threats to public health and species conservation. In this review, we give account of index cases responsible for filovirus disease outbreaks that have occurred over the past 52 years in a chronological fashion, by describing the circumstances that led to the outbreaks, and how each of the outbreaks broke out. Since the discovery of Marburg virus and Ebola virus in 1967 and 1976, respectively, m… Show more

“…Beyond analysing virus biology, intrabodies were also used in a more therapy-oriented approach. Infection with Ebola and Marburg virus, which are both enveloped RNA filoviruses [ 207 ], poses a significant threat due to their high lethality rates of up to 90% in some cases of outbreaks [ 208 ]. As a strategy to allow only empty and non-infectious particles to form by inhibiting packaging, viral proteins from Ebola and Marburg virus were cross-linked inside the cell via a dimeric intrabody [ 209 ].…”

“…Marburgvirüsler, ebolavirüslerle birlikte Filoviridae ailesine ait olup insanlarda ve insan olmayan primatlarda fulminan hemorajik ateşe neden olan bir RNA virüsüdür (18) . Marburg virüsü ilk kez 1967 yılında Almanya'nın Frankfurt ve Marburg şehirleri ile Belgrad'daki laboratuvar çalışanlarında eşzamanlı olarak meydana gelen salgın sırasında saptanmıştır.…”
