Non #Ebola #Filoviruses: Potential #Threats to Global #Health #Security https://www.mdpi.com/1999-4915/16/8/1179

In this #review, we summarize current #knowledge on non-Ebola filoviruses (#Bombali virus, #Bundibugyo virus, #Reston virus, #Sudan virus, #TaiForest virus, #Marburg virus, #Ravn virus, #Lloviu virus, ... and Dehong virus) and suggest some strategies to accelerate specific #countermeasure development.

Inmazeb is an FDA-approved antibody therapeutic for #Ebola virus. Now we know exactly HOW this powerful antibody cocktail neutralizes the virus.

Thank you @cellpress for featuring this fascinating #StructuralBiology work from LJI's Saphire Lab, Boston University researchers, and Regeneron: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1931312823000227?via%3Dihub

#Introduction toot.

I'm a molecular virologist studying #BSL4 pathogens, primarily #filoviruses like #Ebola #Lloviu and #Marburg viruses at the #NEIDL at #BostonUniversity
I'm a big proponent of collaborating and #OpenScience

I love exploring the outdoors; #camping #hiking #kayaking #snowshoeing
I also enjoy #gardening and #brewing beer and cider.
I'm a huge #nerd at home too: my non-science reading list is mostly #nature #sciencefiction and #fantasy and I play #dungeonsanddragons

#introduction
Hi all. I'm just starting to explore mastadon. I'm a #diseaseecologist who studies #zoonotic #viruses in wildlife and how they #spillover into livestock and people. I work for a science-based nonprofit called EcoHealth Alliance. My research focuses on #bats and their associated #henipaviruses, #coronaviruses and #filoviruses in Asia and Africa.
