Abstract
The first isolate of the emerging filovirus Lloviu virus (LLOV) was obtained in 2022. No animal disease models have been established. We assessed the pathogenic potential of LLOV in ferrets after intranasal, intramuscular, or aerosol exposure. The lack of disease development shows ferrets are not a disease model for LLOV.

{Health Advisory – Excerpt}

Summary
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is issuing this Health Alert Network (HAN) Health Advisory to inform clinicians and health departments about the Republic of Rwanda’s first confirmed outbreak of Marburg virus disease (MVD) with 36 laboratory confirmed cases and 11 deaths reported as of October 2, 2024, including at least 19 cases in healthcare workers. This report summarizes CDC’s recommendations for public health departments and clinicians in the United States on case identification and testing and clinical laboratory biosafety considerations. No confirmed cases of MVD related to this outbreak have been reported in the United States or other countries outside of the Republic of Rwanda to date. Currently, the risk of MVD in the United States is low; however, clinicians should be aware of the potential for imported cases.
