In the shadows of Python Cave, Uganda, a leopard leaps from a guano mound—formed by bat excrement—and sinks its teeth into a ...

New imaging tools reveal how within an hour of infection, the virus begins to alter our chromosomes to kick-start its own replication.

Researchers have determined the crystal structure of the Ebola virus surface protein that binds host cells, they report online today in linkurl:Nature.; ...

The stalk is an important part of the Ebola virus structure because it anchors Ebola's glycoprotein structure (which drives entry into a host cell) to Ebola's viral membrane.

Sudan virus disease is essentially a disease very similar to Ebola. The Ebola virus has caused several high-profile outbreaks. The west Africa 2014-16 outbreak was the largest with 28,600 cases ...

Recent research at the University of Virginia could help provide an important clue as scientists scramble to find a way to treat the Ebola virus. One day after the first Ebola death in the United ...

This cross-section of the Ebola virus nucleocapsid offers a detailed view of the layers that make up its cylinder-like structure. [Saphire Lab, La Jolla Institute for Immunology] ...

This discovery could guide the development of universal antiviral therapies targeting multiple filoviruses, enhancing treatment options against Ebola and potentially other related viruses. Key ...

Researchers at La Jolla Institute for Immunology have detailed the structure of the Ebola virus nucleocapsid using cryo-electron tomography. This discovery could guide the development of universal ...

In fact, the Ebola virus nucleocapsid plays such a critical role in infection that Watanabe suspects the nucleocapsid's overall structure may have stayed the same as filoviruses evolved.

Ebola virus polymerase is already known as a hard-working protein—all Ebola viral proteins have to be. Ebola virus is a highly efficient pathogen because it gets by with just seven genes (humans ...

At 3.1 angstroms, the 3D structure is the highest-resolution image of the Ebola virus surface protein ever assembled using asymmetric reconstruction.
