2021 Ebola Outbreak Resulted From Viral Latency, Reactivation, Genomic Study Finds
Sequencing and phylogenetic analysis indicated that a 2021 Ebola outbreak is closely related to a previous epidemic that ended in 2016.
Ebola Virus Appears to Undergo Distinct Changes in Bat, Human Host Cell Line Experiments
Ebola viruses passaged in bat renal cells appeared to be subject to RNA editing by host enzymes, while more adaptive mutations arose after passaging in a human kidney cell line.
Ebola Virus Response Signature Emerges From Mouse Gene Expression Data
Based on expression patterns in mouse strains with variable infection susceptibility, investigators came up with a signature that predicted Ebola virus response in West Africa patients.
RNA Virus Reservoir, Vector Predictions From Genome Data May Help Prevent Disease Outbreaks
Researchers trained a machine-learning model to predict animal reservoirs or insect vectors for dozens of "orphan" viruses with unknown natural sources.
Researchers Develop Interferon Signature Model for Early Detection of Ebola Infection
The researchers found that the expression of certain genes was better at helping them predict when Ebola would develop than indications of infection like fever.
