EBOLA AND MARBURG VIRUS INFECTIONS
MICROBIOLOGY
The family Filoviridae contains two genera, Marburgvirus and Ebolavirus, that consist of negative-sense, single-strand RNA viruses capable of infecting humans. Ebolavirus has five species named for their original sites of recognition, and Marburgvirus has two species.
- Both Marburg virus and Ebola virus are biosafety level 4 pathogens because of high mortality rates (except for Reston virus, an Ebola virus, which is nonpathogenic for humans) and aerosol infectivity.
