    Community contribution to the control of Ebola outbreaks in Uganda, 2000-2022
  • Strategies for the development of small molecule inhibitors of ebola viral infection. 
    Pleško, Sebastian; Podlipnik, Črtomir (ExLi4EvA., 2016)
    The recent outbreak of Ebola viral disease (EVD) in West Africa reminded us that an effective anti-viral treatment still does not exist, despite the significant progress that has recently been made in understanding ...
  • Ebola virus’s glycoproteins and entry mechanism. 
    Khataby, Khadija; Kasmi, Yassine; Hammou, Rahma Ait; Laasri, Fatima Ezzahra; Boughribil, Said; Ennaji, My Mustapha (ExLi4EvA., 2016)
    Ebola virus glycoprotein (GP) is the only protein that is expressed on the surface of the virus. The GP proteins play critical roles in the entry of virus into cell and in the evasion of the immune system. The GP gene ...
  • Roles of VP35, VP40 and VP24 proteins of ebola virus in pathogenic and replication mechanisms. 
    Hammou, Rahma Ait; Kasmi, Yassine; Khataby, Khadija; Laasri, Fatima Ezzahra; Boughribil, Said; Ennaji, My Mustapha (ExLi4EvA., 2016)
    Ebola epidemic is a fatal disease due to Ebola virus belonging to Filoviridae; currently the viral evolution caused more than 50% of death worldwide. Among the eight proteins of ZEBOV, there are four structural ...
  • Prediction of ebolavirus genomes encoded microRNALike small RNAs using bioinformatics approaches. 
    Teng, Yue; Xu, Zhe; Yuan, Jin; An, Xiaoping; Song, Jiangman; Feng, Dan (ExLi4EvA., 2016)
    Recent findings revealed that certain viruses encoded microRNA-like small RNAs using the RNA interference machinery in the host cells. However, the function of these virusencoded microRNA-like small RNAs remained u ...
  • A genomic landscape of haplotype diversity and signatures of phylogeographic distribution in zaire ebolavirus during the 2014 EVD epidemic. 
    Teng, Yue; Yu, Yan; Jin, Yuan; An, Xiaoping; Feng, Dan (ExLi4EvA., 2016)
    The Ebola virus (EBOV) disease epidemic from 2013 to 2015 is the largest in history, affecting multiple countries in West Africa. Genome sequencing of EBOV has re‐ vealed extensive genetic variation and ...
  • Ebola preparedness and risk in Latin America. 
    Rodriguez‐Morales, Alfonso J.; Cardona‐Ospina, Jaime Andrés; Fernanda‐Urbano, Sivia; Nasner‐Posso, Katherinn Melissa; Cruz‐Calderón, Stefania; Calvache‐Benavides, Carlos E.; Delgado‐Pascuaza, Yudy Lorena; Castillo, Juan Camilo; Alvarez‐Ríos, Maria Yamile; Marín‐Rincón, Hamilton A.; Urrutia, Liceth; Paniz‐Mondolfi, Alberto (ExLi4EvA., 2016)
    Until today, February 22, 2016, no confirmed Ebola cases have been diagnosed in Americas (except USA, four cases with one death). Confusion, lack of knowledge, and fear have led to quickly misclassify cases as suspected, ...
  • Ebola and health partnerships, action in a time of crisis. 
    Brown, Colin S; Elsherbiny, Mohamed; Johnson, Oliver; Kamboz, Amardeep; Lado, Marta; Leather, Andrew; Mounter, Natalie; Thomas, Suzanne; Youkee, Dan; Walker, Naomi; Awonuga, Waheed; Kamara, TB; Kamara, Cecilia; Kasette, Quannan; Ngauja, Ramatu (ExLi4EvA., 2016)
    The chapter explores the role of health partnerships in delivering services throughout the West African Ebola Virus Disease epidemic, including the creation of the Ministry of Health & Sanitation Ebola Holding Unit models, ...
  • Managing ebola in low-resource settings: 
    Okware, Samuel (ExLi4EvA., 2016)
    Five outbreaks of Ebola virus disease of the Sudan Ebola virus and the Bundibugyo Ebola virus occurred in Uganda from 2000 to 2012. The attack rates and the case fatality rates were much higher for the former than the ...
