Elucidating variations in the nucleotide sequence of Ebola virus associated with increasing pathogenicity

2014-11-22

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Background Ebolaviruses cause a severe and often fatal haemorrhagic fever in humans, with some species such as Ebola virus having case fatality rates approaching 90%. Currently, the worst Ebola virus outbreak since the disease was discovered is occurring in West Africa. Although thought to be a zoonotic infection, a concern is that with increasing numbers of humans being infected, Ebola virus variants cou...
