14 Filoviruses (-) ss RNA viruses All known Ebola- and Marburgvirus species are endemic in Africa except RESTV which is endemic in South-East Asia After transmission to humans, filoviruses can cause a severe hemorrhagic fever with a relatively high mortality rate of 20-90% Many different mammalian species are susceptible to filovirus infections; in particular chimpanzees and gorillas
15 Filoviruses Symptoms are rather unspecific at the beginning of the disease including general malaise, fever and pain in different body parts Disease is therefore often mistaken for Malaria, Typhoid fever or other febrile diseases common in Sub-Saharan Africa Infectious virus titer and RNA concentration during acute disease are usually high Laboratory diagnostics is preferably done using RT-PCR from plasma, serum or whole blood samples Many patients (especially with fatal outcome) do not develop detectable antibody titers during the course of the disease at all
16 Filoviruses Ebolavirus and Marburgvirus are genera within the family Filoviridae Genus Marburgvirus contains a single species termed Marburg marburgvirus (MARV) Genus Ebolavirus contains five species: Bundibugyo ebolavirus (BEBOV) Reston ebolavirus (RESTV) Sudan ebolavirus (SEBOV) Tai Forest ebolavirus (TAFV) Zaire ebolavirus (ZEBOV)
