A genome-wide siRNA screen identifies a druggable host pathway essential for the Ebola virus life cycle

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The 2014-2016 Ebola virus (EBOV) outbreak in West Africa highlighted the need for improved therapeutic options against this virus. Approaches targeting host factors/pathways essential for the virus are advantageous because they can potentially target a wide range of viruses, including newly emerging ones and because the development of resistance is less likely than when targeting the virus directly....
