The Ebola virus (EBOV) is notorious for causing severe hemorrhagic fever in humans, and its matrix protein, VP40, plays a crucial role in the virus's ability to assemble and bud from host cells.

If Ebola virus was in ... That means it needs a host—at least one kind of animal, or plant, or fungus, or microbe, whose body serves as its primary environment and whose cell machinery it ...

"This study explores the role of the skin as a potential route of Ebola virus infection and identifies, for the first time, several cell types in the skin that are permissive to infection," says ...

These viruses have only the capsid surrounding their genetic material. A virus budding from a host cell membrane. This sequence of steps forms the virus’s envelope. A host is an organism that a ...
