This volume provides an overview of recent advances in our
understanding of the biology of marburg- and ebolaviruses. 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. For 50 years, these viruses have spilled over
sporadically and without warning from their wildlife reservoirs,
often causing major outbreaks and high fatalities. The consequences
can be devastating, with a clear potential for global reach, as
demonstrated by the 2013 West African outbreak of Ebola virus,
which led to over 28,000 reported cases across three continents and
more than 11,000 deaths. Given the international threat posed by
these viruses, the pace and scope of basic research have also
greatly intensified, ranging from studies of virus emergence,
epidemiology, antiviral countermeasures and human disease to
detailed mechanistic studies of virus entry, replication, virion
assembly and protein structure. Written by internationally
respected experts, this book will appeal to a wide audience and be
a valuable resource for basic researchers, clinicians and advanced
students alike.
