Journal ArticleDOI
Bridging the implementation gap between knowledge and action for health
TL;DR: Given the potential for near-term improvements in health, finding more effective ways of promoting the uptake of evidence-based interventions should be a priority for researchers, practitioners and policy-makers.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The range of possible Ebola virus sources is expanded to include insectivorous bats and the importance of broader sampling efforts for understanding Ebola virus ecology is reiterated.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Since multiple genetic variants of virus were identified, ongoing introduction of virus into the population helped perpetuate this outbreak, implying that reservoir hosts of Marburg virus inhabit caves, mines, or similar habitats.
Journal ArticleDOI
Challenge of the unknown: A systematic review of acute encephalitis in non-outbreak situations
Julia Granerod,Clarence C. Tam,Natasha S. Crowcroft,Nicholas W. S. Davies,Matthias Borchert,Sara L. Thomas +5 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that new and emerging infectious agents, or new forms of immune-mediated encephalitis, may be responsible for cases currently of unknown cause is supported and encouraged in the ongoing global effort to identify these.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Primary transmission of Marburg virus to humans likely occurred via exposure to a still unidentified reservoir in the local mines, and secondary transmission appears to be less common withMarburg virus than with Ebola virus, the other known filovirus.
