Ebolavirus: An Overview of Molecular and Clinical Pathogenesis.
Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)(2017)
摘要
Ebolaviruses cause severe, often fatal hemorrhagic fever in Central, East, and West Africa. Until recently, they have been viewed as rare but highly pathogenic infections with regional, but limited, global public health impact. This view has changed with the emergence of the first epidemic of Ebola hemorrhagic fever in West Africa. In this chapter we provide an introduction of the pathogenesis of ebolaviruses as well as a description of clinical disease features. We also describe the current animal models used in ebolavirus research, detailing each model's unique strengths and weaknesses. We focus on Ebola virus representing the type species Zaire ebolavirus of the genus Ebolavirus, as most work relates to this pathogen.
