Virology 2015 Lecture #25: Ebolavirus

Ebolaviruses first infected human in 1976, but it was not until the 2014 outbreak, the largest ever, did they capture the world's attention. In this lecture we address five questions about Ebolaviruses: What are they, where did they come from, how do they replicate, how do they cause disease, and how can infection be prevented. And no, they did not go airborne during this outbreak in west Africa.

[@unitelanka]

any chance to see these videos in a higher resolution, at least 720p? it's difficult to see the flowcharts at the moment.

[@MicrobeTV]

JZoidberg Sorry, I'm limited by my screen resolution, which is a reflection of the projector in the university classroom.

[@sabaamer6827]

Awsome.

[@GunCops]

Which is the proper way to cite your video? I need this for a paper i am writting, and it would be quite lovely if i could have an answer in like... 6 hours. Thank you very much, Dr. Racaniello.

[@MicrobeTV]

Sorry I took longer than 6 hours. In the future, just use the youtube URL. Racaniello, V. Name of Video. URL.

[@GunCops]

@@MicrobeTV great sir

We needed to be ready for coronavirus!!

[@midget6mafia]

I have read a few documents proposing that the black death may have been caused by an E.bola like virus. I was wondering what your professional opinion is or if you have any theories yourself.

[@rylandavis2976]

If it did it's untestable/unknowable. All ebola viruses we know currently burn out relatively quickly and don't sustain long term spread. In my opinion it's incredibly unlikely

[@zxwmabcdef5439]

I remember reading about a doctor who treated 15 ebola patients with Combivir and 13 survived.

[@karenharris3183]

have they made vacinations?

Ebola infection look like bacteria
