Ebola viruses and Marburg viruses, members of the filovirus family, are zoonotic pathogens that cause severe disease in people, as highlighted by the latest Ebola virus epidemic in West Africa. Subsequent transmission of virus from person to person requires close contact with an infected patient. Marburg virus belongs to the genus Marburgvirus in the family Filoviridae and causes a severe hemorrhagic fever, known as Marburg hemorrhagic fever (MHF), in both humans and nonhuman primates. In addition, outbreaks most likely will occur in remote regions where clinical trials are not feasible; therefore, definitive, well-controlled human efficacy studies to test the effectiveness of a drug or biologic product are not feasible. Filovirus disease is characterized by uncontrolled virus replication and the activation of host responses that contribute to pathogenesis. The grant from the Signs and symptoms typically begin abruptly within five to 10 days of infection with Ebola or Marburg virus. Early signs and symptoms include: Fever. Severe headache. Joint and muscle aches. Chills. Weakness. The glycoproteins of Marburg and Ebola virus and their potential roles in pathogenesis. Blood or other bodily fluids (faeces, vomit, urine, saliva and respiratory secretions) contains a high concentration of virus, particularly when these fluids contain blood. characterize filoviral infections. see more details, pathogenesis pathogenesis Subject Category: Miscellaneous see more details. Filovirus disease is characterized by uncontrolled virus replication and the activation of host responses that contribute to pathogenesis. [2] Phylogenetic comparisons of known Marburg virus (MARV) strains reveal 2 distinct genetic lineages: Ravn and the Lake Victoria Marburg complex (eg, Musoke, Popp, and Angola strains). The source of infection for primates is unknown. Baslers lab has discovered crucial information about how the Ebola virus evades and manipulates the immune system. Marburg virus disease (formerly known as Marburg hemorrhagic fever) is a severe zoonotic (animal-borne) disease, affecting both humans and non-primates. Emphasis is placed on the genomics of the viruses, their molecular properties and their taxonomy. Objectives: This article summarizes the countermeasures for Marburg virus disease, focusing on pathogenesis, clinical features and diagnostics. Moroz #Cottage. Contact with blood or other bodily fluids transmits the virus. Marburg virus is one of 2 viruses belonging to the Filovirus family. Marburg virus was first recognized in 1967 when outbreaks of haemorrhagic fever occurred in laboratories located in Marburg and Frankfurt, Germany and Belgrade, Yugoslavia (present-day Serbia) . Abstract. This review will compare various animal models to the available descriptions of human pathogenesis and aims to evaluate their effectiveness in modeling important aspects of Marburg virus disease. One candidate antibody was then administered several days after lethal Marburg or Ravn infection in nonhuman primates and was able Endemic areas The first recognized outbreak of Marburg virus disease occurred in Germany and Yugoslavia in 1967; the overall fatality rate was 23 percent. Lancet Infect Dis 5:331. Baslers work also focuses on Marburg virus and most recently SARS-CoV-2, the new coronavirus. Ebola viruses and Marburg viruses, members of the filovirus family, are zoonotic pathogens that cause severe disease in people, as highlighted by Potential mammalian filovirus reservoirs. Filovirus pathogenesis and immune evasion: insights from Ebola virus and Marburg virus. Marburg, Germany, when animal staff and laboratory workers became infected while processing tissues from Cercopithecus aethiops monkeys, which were imported from Uganda to produce kidney cell cultures needed for the production of a live poliomyelitis vaccine [1, 2]. The Ribonucleic acid (RNA) virus belongs to the filovirus family. Marburg and Ebola viruses are the two members of the Filoviridae family ().Though caused by different viruses, the two diseases are clinically similar. Marburg Virus Disease (MVD) is a severe infectious disease caused by Marburg virus, a member of the Filoviridae family, which also includes Ebola viruses. It focuses on four essential areas: 1) ecology, outbreaks and clinical management, 2) disease, pathogenesis and protection, 3) virus replication inside the cell, and 4) molecular tools for virus study and taxonomy. (2015) Cross et al. For 50 years, these viruses have spilled over The mechanism of pathogenesis of the infection is not well understood, but it is well accepted that pathogenesis is appreciably driven by a hyperactive immune response. Evaluation in nonhuman primates of vaccines against Ebola virus. Ebola virus and Marburg virus are related viruses that may cause hemorrhagic fevers. Ebola virus, another filovirus, was first described in 1976 during two hemorrhagic fever epidemics in Zaire and Sudan. Ebola virus and Marburg virus are related viruses that may cause Filovirus disease is characterized by uncontrolled virus replication and the activation of host responses that contribute to pathogenesis. Marburg virus (MARV) and the closely related filovirus Ebola virus cause severe and often fatal hemorrhagic fever (HF) in humans and nonhuman primates with mortality rates up to 90%. Initially, human MVD infection results from prolonged exposure to mines or caves inhabited by Rousettus bat colonies. Marburg virus disease is caused by viruses that produce symptoms of fever, chills, headaches and muscle aches early in the disease; symptoms worsen and may lead to Efforts to elucidate the pathogenesis of CCHF have been even further handicapped by the failure of the virus to cause disease in laboratory animals other than suckling mice. Ebola virus and Marburg virus, which belong to the filovirus family, cause periodic outbreaks and severe disease in humans. Nat Rev Microbiol 2015; 13:663. Borchert M, Boelaert M, Sleurs H, Muyembe-Tamfum JJ, Pirard P, Colebunders R, Marburg virus pathogenesis - differences and similarities in humans and animal models. Background. This volume provides an overview of recent advances in our understanding of the biology of marburg- and ebolaviruses. A maculopapular rash, petechiae, purpura, ecchymoses, and hematomas (especially around needle injection sites) are typical hemorrhagic manifestations. In addition, outbreaks most likely will occur in remote regions where clinical trials are not feasible; therefore, definitive, well-controlled human efficacy studies to test the effectiveness of a drug or biologic product are not feasible. The grant from the Symptoms of a Marburg virus infection can include:4 1. But around 16,000 people survived in West Africa. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), that emerged in late 2019, is the etiologic agent of the current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, which has serious health implications and a significant global economic impact. ATLANTADr. Marburg virus is the causative agent of Marburg haemorrhagic fever (MHF). Bonn D. 2005. Marburg virus (MARV) is a highly pathogenic virus associated with severe disease and There is an emphasis on therapies and vaccines that have demonstrated, through their evaluation in nonhuman primates (NHPs) and/or in humans, potential for use in an emergency situation. Marburg and Ebola viruses are the two members of the Filoviridae family ().Though caused by different viruses, the two diseases are clinically similar. Marburg virus outbreaks are sporadic, infrequent, brief, and relatively small in terms of numbers of subjects affected. Marburg virus has reappeared only three times since its discovery, with the largest and most recent outbreak occurring in 1999 in Durba, Democratic Republic of the Congo. Filoviruses Ebola virus (EBOV) and Marburg virus (MARV) are the causative agents of hemorrhagic fever and continue to pose a significant threat to human health. Socially Significant and Especially Dangerous Infectious Diseases.
