Ebola virus (EBOV) is an enveloped, filamentous, negative-sense, single-stranded RNA virus of the Filoviridae family. EBOV is the cause of the frequently lethal Ebola virus disease (EVD), which has a documented case fatality rate of around 50% [9]. EVD outbreaks typically start from a si...
There were five clear objectives, which were achieved in record time: identification of the etiological agent, development of diagnostic tests for virus detection, creation and evaluation of epidemio- logical treatment protocols to reduce morbidity and mortality, definition of key epidemiological ...
The ancestors of smallpox virus and malaria parasites, for example, probably became human pathogens 10 000 years ago when humans began to domesticate animals in settlements that were large enough to sustain human-to-human transmission. In recent times the AIDS virus, one of the most destructive ...
These unnatural and extremely large pools of water provide ample breeding ground for mosquitoes, which carry diseases like malaria and West Nile virus. Rain also leaves behind smaller pools of water, and you may have noticed that a few days after a good thunderstorm, there seems to be a lot...
5.5. Case definition In the light of the pathogenicity of MERS-CoV, its ability to potentially evade the immune system, and its high mortality rate, it is vital that accurate case definition criteria are established and updated as knowledge of the virus expands. This is of particular concern ...
Building human organs in a dish has been a long term goal of researchers in pursue of physiologically relevant models of human disease and for replacement of worn out and diseased organs. The liver has been an organ of interest for its central role in re

This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves. 3.1Definition Emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) are characterized by a new or an increased occurrence within the last few deca...
belonging to the same species are characterized by homologies of their DNA, which result in hybridization percentages greater than or equal to 70%, and stability of the hybrids formed below 5 °C [93,94,95]. This definition is still recognized by the international bacterial taxonomy committees...
