Scientists recently published findings indicating that Ebola virus creates and uses intercellular tunnels to move from cell to cell and evade treatments. Understanding how viruses travel once ...

Biomechanics of how the Ebola virus attaches to its host cell Date: March 26, 2019 Source: Lehigh University Summary: Engineers and microbiologists have developed a simple model for virus-host ...

Despite its isolation three decades ago, Ebola virus continues to cause periodic outbreaks of severe hemorrhagic fever in humans, and the closely related Marburg virus is responsible for a recent ...

The Ebola virus mutated to more effectively infiltrate human cells during the West African outbreak that killed more than 11,300 people between 2013 and 2016. That's the finding of two teams of ...

How does the Ebola virus prevent immune cells from doing their job - protecting the body from infection - if it doesn’t actually invade them? In a new study from the University of Texas Medical Branch ...

Ebola virus disease (EVD), first identified in 1976, is a severe illness with a fatality rate around 50%, with rates ranging from 25-90% for specific outbreaks. Most recently the ninth outbreak of ...

In order for the Ebola virus (EBOV) to hijack a cell, it must first “board” its intended mass replication vehicle. The biomechanics of this process have been elusive, hindering the development ...

Once inside a host cell, the Ebola virus, for example, hijacks molecular pathways to replicate itself and eventually make its way back out of the cell into the bloodstream, where it can spread further ...
