Journal ArticleDOI
Chloroquine is a potent inhibitor of SARS coronavirus infection and spread
Martin J. Vincent,Eric Bergeron,Suzanne Benjannet,Bobbie R. Erickson,Pierre E. Rollin,Thomas G. Ksiazek,Nabil G. Seidah,Stuart T. Nichol +7 more
TL;DR: Chloroquine is effective in preventing the spread of SARS CoV in cell culture and the indirect immunofluorescence assay described herein represents a simple and rapid method for screening SARS-CoV antiviral compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Two clusters of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus infection transmitted through organ transplantation are documented, with a single, unique strain of LCMV identified in each cluster.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The discovery of two tags at Python Cave from bats marked at Kitaka mine, together with the close genetic linkages evident between viruses detected in geographically distant locations, are consistent with R. aegyptiacus bats existing as a large meta-population with associated virus circulation over broad geographic ranges.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: These data showed the long‐term presence of Ebola virus RNA in semen and declining persistence with increasing time after ETU discharge, as well as the risk of sexual transmission of EVD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Marburgvirus genomics and association with a large hemorrhagic fever outbreak in Angola.
Jonathan S. Towner,Marina L. Khristova,Tara K. Sealy,Martin J. Vincent,Bobbie R. Erickson,Darcy A. Bawiec,Amy L. Hartman,James A. Comer,Sherif R. Zaki,Ute Ströher,Ute Ströher,Filomena Gomes da Silva,Fernando del Castillo,Pierre E. Rollin,Thomas G. Ksiazek,Stuart T. Nichol +15 more
TL;DR: While the marburgviruses exhibit high overall genetic diversity, only 6.8% nucleotide difference was found between the West African Angolan viruses and the majority of East African viruses, suggesting that the virus reservoir species in these regions are not substantially distinct.
