“Ebola Virus: Glycoprotein Modification Study” Name Class School Date Abstract Retroviruses are a family of enveloped RNA viruses that are defined by their common characteristics in structure‚ replication properties and composition. These viruses are important in research in many different areas of science‚ such as biology‚ genetics‚ medicine‚ cancer‚ and biotechnology. The process of pseudotyping for retroviruses‚ in particular‚ allows researchers to investigate the

helical morphology‚ with a single stranded negative sense RNA genome. This virus inherits a U or corkscrew shape that extends about 800 to 1000 nm. (11) (5) Ebola Classification and Taxonomy Ebola causes viral hemorrhagic fever from the order Mononegavirales found in the family of Filoviridae viruses. Within the Filoviridae family there are two genera Ebolavirus and Marburgvirus. There are five species in the Ebolavirus genus and two in the Marburgvirus see table 1. They are enveloped particles with

THE EPIDEMIC OF EBOLA HAEMORRHAGIC FEVER DEFINITION Ebola virus disease (EVD) or Ebola hemorrhagic fever (EHF) is a disease of humans and other primates caused by an Ebola virus. Symptoms start two days to three weeks after contracting the virus‚ with a fever‚ sore throat‚ muscle pain and headaches. Typically‚ vomiting‚ diarrhea and rash follow‚ along with decreased functioning of the liver and kidneys. Around this time‚ affected people may begin to bleed both within the body and externally.[1]LITRATURE

Rabies (/ˈreɪbiːz/; from Latin: rabies‚ "madness") is a viral disease that causes acute inflammation of the brain in humans and other warm-blooded animals. The time period between contracting the disease and the start of symptoms is usually one to three months; however‚ it can vary from less than one week to more than one year. The time is dependent on the distance the virus must travel to reach the system. Early symptoms may include fever and tingling at the site of exposure. This is then followed
