Ebolavirus is the causative agent of a rare but often fatal infection known as ebola hemorrhagic fever (EHF).
Ebolavirus is an RNA virus which must proceed through defined steps during its lifecycle.
We study the assembly of this structure, with the understanding that it is an essential step in the replication of ebolavirus and therefore a potential target for antiviral compounds.

 Ebola information from Wikipedia - WrongDiagnosis.com
Ebola is the common term for a group of viruses belonging to genus Ebolavirus, family Filoviridae, which cause Ebola hemorrhagic fever[1].
On average however, the length of a typical ebolavirus is closer to 1000 nm.
The Zaïre ebolavirus demonstrates the greatest degree of mortality, with up to a 90% mortality rate in some epidemics, with an average of approximately 83% mortality over 27 years.

Ebolavirus is a causative agent of a severe, mostly fatal hemorrhagic fever in humans.
To further our understanding of the Ebolavirus life cycle, the authors examined the specific interactions among viral proteins and the processes of Ebolavirus morphogenesis.
The interaction of nucleoprotein with matrix protein VP40 is found to be essential for transport of NCs to the cell surface and for the incorporation of NCs into virions, resulting in the formation of mature virus particles.

Another case was the death of a nightclub owner in Nzara who could afford to go to the fancier hospital located in Maridi.
Unfortunately, the nurses there also did not properly sterilize their needles, and the hospital, like the one in Yambuku, became a breeding ground for new Ebola cases (Draper 30-31).
Six of the Reston primate handlers tested positive (2 due to previous exposure) for the virus, but none became ill. Further Reston ebolavirus infected monkeys were shipped to Hazleton facilities in both Reston, Virginia and Alice, Texas (Hazleton's Texas Primate Center) in February of 1990.

The Ebola virus (EBOV), together with Marburg virus, belongs to the Filoviridae family, a group of linear RNA viruses.
Four different genetic subtypes have been described in Africa (Sudan ebolavirus, Zaïre ebolavirus, Ivory Coast ebolavirus) and in Asia (Reston ebolavirus).
The case-fatality rate is about 80% for the Zaïre ebolavirus subtype, which is the most pathogenic strain in Gabon, Republic of the Congo (RC), and Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

 Introduction to Virology
Although some viruses may establish some forms of silent infection of cells, their multiplication usually causes cell damage or death; however, since viruses must depend on host survival for their own survival, they tend to establish mild infections in which death of the host is more an aberration than a regular outcome.
Notable exceptions are HIV, ebolavirus, hantavirus and rabiesvirus.
Viruses are distinct among microorganisms in their extreme dependence on the host cell.
