Because they rely on hosts for a majority of functions, viruses aren’t considered alive. But entities like this one ...

The Ebola virus browser aligns five strains of Ebola with two strains of the related Marburg virus. Within these strains, Kent and other members of the UC Santa Cruz Genome Browser team have aligned ...

The group used cryo-electron tomography of cells transfected with viral proteins, and infected with model Ebola virus, to illuminate assembly intermediates. They obtained a 9 Å map of the ...

This machine not only copies the Ebola virus genomic material, it also transcribes the viral genome into messenger RNAs, which instruct infected cells to produce loads of viral proteins.

Schematic of the Ebola virus genome and virion. The glycoprotein GP (red) is the only viral protein displayed on the virion surface.

Polymerase is a viral protein that directs how Ebola virus replicates its genome as it infects new hosts. Drugs that target polymerase could potentially treat Ebola virus infections and save lives.

In all, 12 of the 16 infected died. In order to better understand the source and spread of the outbreak, samples from these patients were used to obtain the genome of the virus behind the outbreak.

Ebola vaccination at Nzérékoré Hospital, Guinea A new Ebola virus outbreak in Guinea appears to have been sparked by a person who was first infected during the country’s previous epidemic ...

Your virus’ genome is likely to be very similar to that of whoever infected you. And if it’s more similar to an infection from Washington state than from China, you have a clue as to how it ...

This particular strain of the virus, which first appeared in the region in 2018 and hasn’t been given a formal name—I’ll call it Kivu Ebola—is a variant of a species known as the Zaire ...

For the first time, the type of deadly Ebola virus responsible for recent epidemics has been found in a bat in West Africa, Liberian health officials announced on Thursday. Bats carrying the ...

The most devastating Ebola outbreak in recent history was caused by the Zaire virus and lasted from 2013 to 2016 in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia. In that time, more than 28,000 people were ...
