Filoviridae

You know that Filov is an infectious disease characterized by a viral hemorrhagic fever, caused by Filoviridae virus.

Ebola virus disease (EVD) is a hemorrhagic fever in the viral family Filoviridae, genus Ebolavirus.

Ebola virus disease (EVD) previously called Ebola haemorrhagic fever is a viral disease caused by infection with a virus of the family Filoviridae, genus Ebola virus and causes serious or life threatening infections in human and primates which if left untreated could be very fatal.

In Africa, the HF viruses belong to one of three families, namely the Arenaviridae (Lassa and Lujo viruses), Bunyaviridae (Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) and Rift Valley fever (RVF) viruses) and Filoviridae (Ebola and Marburg viruses).

Ebola hemorrhagic fever (EHF) or Ebola virus disease (EVD) is the human disease caused by infection of the single stranded RNA viruses of the genus 'Ebola' and family 'Filoviridae'.

Ebola virus belongs to the Filoviridae family of linear, negative-sense, single-stranded RNA viruses.

Genus Ebolavirus is 1 of 3 members of the Filoviridae family (filovirus), along with genus Marburgvirus and genus Cuevavirus.

Taxonomically, EBOV belongs to the new Filoviridae virus family established in 1982, and amended in 2011.

Recent studies on the filoviridae family--the virus family which encompasses the Ebola and Marburg viruses--demonstrate it has existed in animals for thousands of years, but there is scant information about how the family of viruses has evolved and where it resides between outbreaks.

Como se nao bastassem as ameacas dos flebotomos, nos deparamos com um flagelo desconhecido nas Americas, porem de ocorrencia endemica em algumas regioes africanas, o virus Ebola, da familia Filoviridae, genero Ebolavirus (Figura 8).

Ebola belongs to the virus family called Filoviridae. It is include strains; Sudan, Reston, Zaire, Bundibugyo and Ivory Coast.
