EBOV_IRF WB RNASeq Ebola Makona Link GSE115785 Single End 100bp Reads Integrated Research Facilities (IRF) in Fredrick, MD

This study examined Ebola Makona in an animal model. All the animals were given a classic lethal dose of the virus (1000 PFU via intramuscular injection). This study focused on answering the questions 1) Do viral titers reach the same levels as with Kikwit and Mayinga strains of the virus and 2) Does the time to death for the Makona strain remain the same.

Ebola is classified as a category A bioterrorist threat. The main method to weaponize a biological agent is through the development of aerosol dissemination methods for the agent. This study examined the infectivity of the Ebola virus when animals, rhesus macaques, were exposed via an aerosol route.

A pathology of Ebola is disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), a condition in which systemic deregulation of the coagulation system causes body-wide activation of clotting factors resulting in their depletion and eventual systemic hemorrhage. This study examined a possible treatment for DIC, the infusion of new clotting factors, in rhesus macaques infected with lethal doses of Ebola.

EBOV PBMC Vaccine RNASeq Ebola Kitwit Link GSE64538 RNA Seq Integrated Research Facilities (IRF) at Rocky Mountain Labs (RML)

This study examined the efficiency of the VSV/EBOVgp vaccine currently in phase I clinical trials. Subjects were exposed to either Marburg vaccine VSV/MARVgp or Ebola vaccine VSV/EBOVgp prior to a lethal dose of Ebola. Those that received the Marburg vaccine had a 0% survival rate. Those that received the Ebola vaccine had a 100% survival rate. To date, this vaccine has been shown to be highly effective in animal models.

EBOV WB Nanostring Ebola Link GSE99463 Nanostring US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID)

This study examined different muscosal routes of exposure and infection to Ebola. Previous studies have found that the least common exposure vector for Ebola is via needle. Therefore, this study tested how effective exposure via the mucosal membranes (eg: Eyes, nose, mouth) were at infecting subjects.
