RELEASE OF IMMUNOMODULATORY EBOLA VIRUS GLYCOPROTEIN-CONTAINING MICROVESICLES IS SUPPRESSED BY TETHERIN IN A SPECIES-SPECIFIC MANNER

Release of Immunomodulatory Ebola Virus Glycoprotein-Containing Microvesicles Is Suppressed by Tetherin in a Species-Specific Manner

Summary: The Ebola virus glycoprotein (EBOV-GP) forms GP-containing microvesicles, so-called virosomes, which are secreted from GP-expressing cells.However, determinants of GP-virosome release and their functionality are poorly understood.We characterized GP-mediated virosome formation and delineated the role of the antiviral factor tetherin (BST2,

A mixed-methods approach to understanding water use and water infrastructure in a schistosomiasis-endemic community: case study of Asamama, Ghana

Abstract Background Surface water contaminated with human waste may transmit urogenital schistosomiasis (UGS).Water-related activities that allow skin exposure place people at risk, but public health practitioners know little about why some communities with access to improved water infrastructure have substantial surface water contact with infectio
