The Origin And Evolution Of Ebola And Marburg Viruses

WHOInternational Study Team 1978. Molecular evolutionary analyses for Ebola and Marburg viruses were conducted with the aim of elucidating evolutionary features of these viruses.

Ebola virus is a negative-sense single-strand RNA ssRNA virus with a 19 kilobase genome and like most other RNA viruses quickly generates mutations through error-prone replication.

The origin and evolution of ebola and marburg viruses. In this video we cover the origins of the Marburg virus its incubation period its mode of transmission symptoms and available treatments of the Marburg V. Moreover most of the nucleotide substitutions were transitions and synonymous for Marburg virus. Baron McCormick and Zubeir 1983.

Until recently genomic studies of infectious disease outbreaks were necessarily retrospective occurring after the pathogen had either been eradicated or developed endemic transmission in the host. Suzuki Y and Gojobori T. Marburg virus was also suggested to be evolving at a similar rate.

This adaptation occurred by. The case marks the first time the highly virulent Ebola-like virus has been found infecting a person in West Africa. Viruses within Marburg marburgvirus and Sudan ebolavirus species can be traced back further and share most recent common ancestors approximately 700 and.

Human adaptation of Ebola virus during the West African outbreak. Ebola viruses are known to rapidly evolve in new hosts as weve seen in the adaptation of lab-based Ebola viruses to guinea pigs and mice. When these rates were applied to the degree of sequence divergence the divergence time between Ebola and Marburg viruses was estimated to be more than several thousand years ago.

However the evolutionary history of Ebola virus remains unclear. Ebola and Marburg viruses are known to be the etiological agents of haemorrhagic fever which has a high mortality rate Martini and Siegert 197 1. Molecular Biology and Evolution.

Applied to the degree of sequence divergence the divergence time between Ebola and Marburg viruses was estimated to be more than several thousand years ago. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 1995 and thus. The members of this genus are called ebolaviruses and encode their genome in the form of single-stranded negative-sense RNA.

Previous outbreaks of Marburg virus disease which is spread through contact with the body fluids of infected people or animals have occurred mainly in eastern and southern Africa according to The Guardian. Ebola virus species Zaire ebolavirus is one of four viruseswith Sudan virus Taï Forest virus and Bundibugyo viruswithin the genus Ebolavirus that cause severe disease in humans and. Moreover most of the nucleotide substitutions were transitions and synonymous for Marburg virus.

Moreover most of the nucleotide substitutions were transitions and. When these rates were applied to the degree of sequence divergence the divergence time between Ebola and Marburg viruses was estimated to be more than several thousand years ago. P Sakuntabhai A Sall A.

In particular the rate of nonsynonymous substitutions for the glycoprotein gene of Ebola virus was estimated to be on the average 36 x 10-5 per site per year. Bundibugyo ebolavirus Reston ebolavirus Sudan ebolavirus Taï Forest ebolavirus Zaire. The origin and evolution of Ebola and Marburg viruses.

This suggests that purifying selection has operated on Marburg virus during evolution. Since Ebola virus was discovered in 1970s the virus has persisted in Africa and sporadic fatal outbreaks in humans and non-human primates have been reported. The genus Ebolavirus is a virological taxon included in the family Filoviridae order Mononegavirales.

When these rates were applied to the degree of sequence divergence the divergence time between Ebola and Marburg viruses was estimated to be more than several thousand years ago. The six known virus species are named for the region where each was originally identified.
