In theory, a single virus particle — a virion — is capable of being infectious and, after replicating billions of times, killing the host. That makes Ebola unusually infectious and virulent ...

A new study investigates how the most abundant protein that composes the Ebola virus, VP 40, mediates replication of a new viral particle. The long-term objective of the research is to apply ...

The Ebola glycoprotein is hugely important. To begin with, as the only part of the virus that normally sticks out from the membrane, it's the primary thing that the immune system sees.

Inoculation with an Ebola virus that has mutations in a protein called VP35 does not cause disease and elicits protection in monkeys, researchers show September 17 in the journal Cell Reports. The ...

Study examines important Ebola protein by University of Notre Dame A scanning electron micrograph of Ebola virus budding from a cell (African green monkey kidney epithelial cell line).

This was the first time many had ever heard of the virus, but since it was first identified in 1976, there have actually been more than 20 serious Ebola incidents. Thankfully, none of them had the ...
