TL;DR: The genome sequence reveals that the severe acute respiratory syndrome–associated coronavirus known as the Tor2 isolate is only moderately related to other known coronaviruses, andylogenetic analysis of the predicted viral proteins indicates that the virus does not closely resemble any of the three previously known groups of coronavirs.

TL;DR: The data suggest that these replication-competent vaccines against EBOV and MARV based on attenuated recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus vectors are safe and highly efficacious in a relevant animal model.

TL;DR: Transmission of this virus highlights the need for infection control strategies for resource-poor settings and calls for increased awareness of infection control measures in these settings.

TL;DR: GreeneChipPm, a panmicrobial microarray comprising 29,455 sixty-mer oligonucleotide probes for vertebrate viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites, confirmed the presence of viruses and bacteria identified by other methods, and implicated Plasmodium falciparum in an unexplained fatal case of hemorrhagic feverlike disease during the Marburg hemorrhagic Fever outbreak in Angola in 2004–2005.

TL;DR: It is shown that a single injection of a live-attenuated recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus vector expressing the Ebola virus glycoprotein completely protected rodents and nonhuman primates from lethal Ebola challenge.
