Thank you, medical scientists & researchers, and all participants, for continued efforts to find both treatments & vaccines for deadly viruses, despite the American Fed Gov’s desire for people to just die instead.

Jamaican fruit bats’ competence for Ebola but not Marburg virus is driven by intrinsic differences - Nature Communications Jamaican fruit bats support disseminated infection of Ebola but not Marburg virus. The differences in infection dynamics are partially attributable to Marburg’s less efficient entry and impaired antag...

Excited to see this contribution to the world of bat immunology finally out and about. Clear differences in an in vivo bat model between Ebola and Marburg viruses in regards to virus-host antagonism.

Sean's research addresses challenges in understanding how enveloped #viruses, such as #Filoviruses, interact with host #cells.

#Bats are the primary host suspects for #filoviruses, but the exact species involved remain poorly characterized. This knowledge gap hinders our ability to predict and prevent #spillover events. 3/10

#Filoviruses cause sporadic yet increasingly frequent outbreaks of fatal hemorrhagic fever in #humans. Monitoring host animals can help predict animal-to-human transmission and reduce the risk of future #outbreaks. 2/10

Exciting news! Our collaborative study reveals the molecular secrets of how #filoviruses, like #Ebola virus, interact with their #receptor and enter host cells. We also predict #bat species that could act as hosts for Ebola virus. Check it out: https://buff.ly/4akxlP1 1/10

Marburg in Rwanda: What to Expect | Think Global Health Physician and Ebola survivor Craig Spencer on Rwanda's response and how the international community can help

#Marburg belongs to the same virus family as #Ebola ( #filoviruses), and the approach to containing each disease is similar. Like Ebola, Marburg spreads from human to human via infected body fluid and has a similar incubation period (2–21 days).

To bolster the possibility that insects may be a reservoir for #filoviruses like #Ebola and #Marburg viruses...something I picked up during the International Congress of Virology in Jerusalem in 1996, from a poster by this author:
