Chapter One - #Mucosal #Sudan virus #infection results in a lethal disease in #ferrets with previous #Lloviu virus infection not providing cross-protection, https://etidiohnew.blogspot.com/2025/07/chapter-one-mucosal-sudan-virus.html

Lack of #Lloviu Virus #Disease #Development in #Ferret Model

Source: Emerging Infectious Diseases Journal, AbstractThe 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. ____

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.

a good excuse for a first post here: our work with @GaborKemenesi on free-range #Lloviu virus isolated from Schreibers's bats in Italy is available as of today! check out the paper at https://rdcu.be/dgJ28. and as always, big thanks to @adam_hume for trusting me with your favorite virus :)

#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
