An Ebola outbreak has been reported in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Experts share concerns about the highly fatal and contagious hemorrhagic fever.

Breakthrough in Ebola Virus Replication Research A breakthrough discovery by an international team of scientists from Canada and the United States sheds light on a crucial mechanism involved in ...

Ebola is one of the most feared infectious diseases, with more than half of those infected dying. A vaccine has now been shown to cut that mortality rate in half.

The research team, which included experts from Scripps Research and UC San Diego School of Medicine, found that Ebola virus’s replication machinery forms fascinating microscopic structures that become ...

The researchers wanted to understand how this viral machine functions inside viral factories. Ebola virus polymerase is already known as a hard-working protein—all Ebola viral proteins have to be.

New research in the journal Nature Communications gives scientists an important window into how Ebola virus replicates inside host cells.

Uganda was declared Ebola free on Wednesday after the latest outbreak of the virus claimed almost 60 lives in about five months. "Today we join the Government of Uganda to declare the end of the ...

Ebola is a highly transmissible disease but its spread can be prevented through behavioural measures.

Ebola seems to be able to lay dormant in people for many years before causing disease again.

Researchers have studied SARS-CoV-2 replication in cells and obtained detailed insights into the alterations induced in infected cells. This information is essential to guide the development of ...

A coiling protein “shell,” called a nucleocapsid, shown here, surrounds Ebola’s genetic material, which consists of single-strand RNA. University of Delaware researchers are simulating the way ...
