[Study of the functional role of mutation in the guinea pig-adapted Ebola virus genome on a Drosophila melanogaster model].

Abstract excerpt

Ebola virus virulence in guinea pigs, which appears through virus adaptation to this animal host, correlates with substitutions in the gene encoding vp24 protein. In particular, the substitution His-->Tyr186 was found when obtaining strain 8 ms. An attempt was made to clarify the functional role of this substitution in a transgenic fruit fly model. Using the drosophila transformation technique provided transgenic...
