Volume 49 Number 6, November/December 1996 by Allison Brugg The plague of Athens, which wiped out one fourth of the city's population between 430 and 427 B.C., was the earliest known outbreak of ebola, according to a recent article in Emerging Infectious Diseases. Epidemiologists Patrick Olson and Charles Hames of the Naval Medical Center in San Diego, and Abram Bennenson and Nicholas Genovese of San Diego State University believe that Thucydides' description of the disease in his history of the Peloponnesian War matches the symptoms ebola, which killed more than 300 people in Zaire and Sudan last year. Thucydides wrote that after the disease's "abrupt onset, persons in good health were seized first with strong fevers, redness and burning of the eyes, and the inside of the mouth, both the throat and tongue, immediately was bloody-looking and expelled an unusually foul breath. Following these came sneezing, hoarseness...a powerful cough...and every kind of bilious vomiting...and in most cases an empty heaving ensued that produced a strong spasm." Scholars had thought that Athens suffered an outbreak of measles, smallpox, typhus, or bubonic plague. All these ailments, says Olson, would have been preceded by a cough producing blood or mucus. Thucydides wrote that the cough was "empty." Olson and his colleagues contend that the description of the dry cough in Thucydides' account matches that of ebola, basing their theory in part on a retranslation of Thucydides. They believe that the Greek word lugx, which Thucydides uses in his description of symptoms and which had previously been translated as "retching" or "dry heaving," may have been the word for hiccup. Fifteen percent of the victims of the 1995 Zaire outbreak of ebola complained of uncontrollable hiccuping.

Scientists find a protein that inhibits Ebola from reaching out to infect neighboring cells Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine have identified a protein, ISG15, that inhibits the Ebola virus from budding, the process by which viruses escape from cells and spread to infect neighboring cells. This study shows for the first time how ISG15 slows the spread of Ebola virus budding, an observation that could help explain how ISG15 successfully inhibits other viruses, including HIV-1 and herpes simplex virus type I. The findings, reported in the current issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences , offer the promise of future treatments for Ebola outbreaks that now prove fatal for as many as 90 percent of victims. According to the Penn Vet research team, ISG15 inhibits budding in an indirect way, by blocking the behavior of a particular host cell protein which is used by Ebola and other viruses to efficiently escape from cells. ISG15 specifically inhibits the host protein, Nedd4, used by the viral protein VP40 to escape from cells and allow for virus spread. “Inhibit the proteins used by a virus to reproduce and you are inhibiting the virus itself,” Ronald Harty, lead author of the study and associate professor in the Department of Pathobiology at Penn Vet, said. “Without host Nedd4, the Ebola virus still buds and attacks, but it doesn’t bud as well. The long-term goal of our research is to understand the interplay between host and virus, with the hope of creating an anti-viral drug or inhibitor, much like how Tamiflu doesn’t cure the flu but slows down the viral process,” Harty said. “The drug would be designed to dampen or slow down viral budding to allow an infected person’s immune system to fight back.”

64. Purdue Research Hints That Birds Could Spread Ebola Virus WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – ebola shares a closer relationship with several bird viruses than was previously thought, bolstering the case for a common ancestor http://www.purdue.edu/UNS/html4ever/021216.Sanders.birds.html

Purdue News December 16, 2002 Purdue research hints that birds could spread Ebola virus David Sanders and his research group have discovered that the outer protein shell of Ebola has a biochemical structure similar to several retroviruses carried by birds. As scientists had known previously of genetic similarity among the viruses, this discovery makes a common evolutionary origin even more likely. It also suggests that Ebola could be spread to human populations by birds as well. "We knew these viruses were inwardly similar, and now we see their outer similarity as well," said Sanders, associate professor of biological sciences in Purdue's School of Science. "While bird transmission of Ebola is by no means certain, the resemblance among all these viruses should encourage health officials to be on guard for it." The research appears in Sunday's (12/15) Journal of Virology. Two contributors to the group's research are Scott Jeffers, a graduate student in Sanders' laboratory, and Anthony Sanchez, an Ebola virus expert at the Centers for Disease Control. Since its discovery in 1976, Ebola has been responsible for hundreds of deaths in central Africa. Though the source of the virus in nature remains unknown, both humans and monkeys appear susceptible. Death rates of between 50 percent and 90 percent are common during outbreaks.

EBOLA VIRUS HEMORRHAGIC FEVER What are viral hemorrhagic fevers? Viral hemorrhagic fevers are a group of diseases caused by four distinct families of viruses: arenaviruses, bunyaviruses, filoviruses and flaviviruses. The usual hosts for most of these viruses are rodents or arthropods (such as ticks and mosquitoes) but, in some cases, such as Ebola virus, the natural host is unknown. All forms of the disease begin with fever and muscle aches. Depending on the particular virus, the disease can progress until the patient becomes very ill with respiratory problems, severe bleeding, kidney problems and shock. The severity of viral hemorrhagic fever can range from a relatively mild illness to death. What is Ebola virus? Ebola virus is a member of the filovirus family. When magnified several thousand times by an electron microscope, these viruses appear as long filaments or threads. Discovered in 1976, Ebola virus was named for a river in Zaire, Africa, where it was first detected. How common is Ebola virus hemorrhagic fever? What do we know about the recent outbreak of Ebola virus infection?

Promed Database News Archives Ebola, Marburg Viral hemorrhagic fever is a collective name given to a group of viruses, including Ebola and Marburg. These fevers range in seriousness from the mild to the usually fatal. Ebola and Marburg are particularly deadly and mysterious. Ebola was named after the Ebola River in Zaire. It was in this region that the first epidemics occurred in the 1970s. Ebola is thus a classic "emerging disease" - one which has only recently entered the human ecology. Emerging diseases are becoming increasingly common as human populations swell, the environment is degraded and the climate warms Today's tip: you really don't want to get Ebola. It's a nightmare become real. The first symptoms are a low-grade headache. This quickly progresses to a debilitating fever and muscle pain. Then things get truly bad as the major organs, the digestive tract, the skin, the eyes, the gums, all begin to break down and bleed. The body begins to dissolve. Blood pours out of body orifices while the victim writhes in pain. Death usually comes from systemic shock and blood loss. Researchers were shocked when they first autopsied people who died from these fevers. Their insides had literally melted into a necrotic mess of black fluid.

Observations published in the May issue of The American Naturalist provide new clues, suggesting that outbreaks may be amplified by Ebola transmission between ape social groups. The study provides hope that newly developed vaccines could control the devastating impact of Ebola on wild apes. Direct encounters between gorilla or chimpanzee social groups are rare. Therefore, when reports of large ape die-offs first surfaced in the late 1990s, outbreak amplification was assumed to be through "massive spillover" from some unknown reservoir host.

Submit item to: Del.icio.us Digg StumbleUpon Reddit ... Slashdot Ebola spread in Africa (Credit: Brown University) Studying dangerous viruses and bacteria can only be done under strict precautions to make sure the researchers do not get infected and potentially infect others. So far, the Ebola virus could only be studied under the highest safety level - BioSafety Level 4 (BSL4), and scientists were required to use expensive and extremely limiting equipment. In contrast, pathogens (organisms that cause diseases) can be studied in a less restrictive environment if they are mutated so that they do not pose a threat to the research team.  A deletion of the viral gene VP30 made the Ebola virus unable to replicate in host cells. The Ebola has only eight genes of its own and uses the host's genes for most of its molecular machinery. The replication of the virus inside the host cell was found to depend on a gene called VP30. The gene enables the virus to replicate and spread itself to neighboring cells. By deleting the VP30 gene from the virus's genome, the virus lost its ability to spread among the host's cells, making it safe for further research.

Revelation 13: Ebola and Marburg Virus Diseases - The "Andromeda Strain"? - A New Age / Bible Prophecy / King James Bible Code Analysis Ebola and Marburg are very deadly viruses that keep resurfacing as outbreaks in Africa. Can the Bible Code help us find the animal vector hiding place, the carrier host animal where the Ebola virus hides between outbreaks? This we will try to do. We will run the King James Bible Code to search for answers on the Marburg and Ebola Hemmorrhagic Fever viruses: where does it hide? There must be an animal host it hides in between outbreaks. This animal it must live in and not kill. But what is this host vector animal? A bat or an insect? A mammal? Recent History: In early 2003, there was an outbreak of Ebola Hemmorhagic Fever disease in the Congo Republic in Africa, in the Cuvette West region, in the towns of Kelle, Mbomo, and Yembelangoye, near the Gabon border. This outbreak may have related to Saturn being at its brightest in many years in December 2002 and early 2003, and therefore there was a high Satanic energy at this time, as I discuss on the calendar pages. In early June 2003 the outbreak of Ebola in the Congo was ended with 128 deaths in 143 cases. And in October-December 2003 there was an outbreak of Ebola in the Congo, in the Northwest Cuvette Ouest area, Mbomo District, with 29 deaths of 42 cases. This outbreak had begun in Mbanza, after a family ate a dead wild boar. Astrologically this outbreak may relate to Dec. 11 2003, when Pluto the Death planet was in conjunction with the sun, and also at the end of December 2003 Saturn (Satan) was at opposition and its highest point in the sky in 30 years. And in the first half of 2004 there was an Ebola outbreak in the Sudan. And in 2005 there was a very deadly high death rate Marburg virus outbreak in Angola Africa, which in particular is killing young children. And in August - December 2007 there was an Ebola outbreak in Uganda Africa, 35 deaths.

As of mid-March, at least 100 people have died in the villages of Kelle and Mbomo. In a village-created protected area (the Lossi Sanctuary) located between these two villages, the death of hundreds of gorillas and chimpanzees is now being discovered. To date, gorilla mortality appears to be about half of the previously estimated population of 1200 living in and around the sanctuary. In response to this tragic outbreak, an emergency workshop was held in Brazzaville Republic of Congo , on March 4-6, 2003 to bring together government authorities, NGO’s (both conservation and human medicine) and virology experts to come up with immediate and long-term action plans to address the current Ebola Virus outbreak.

World news Inside Ebola's zone of death Uganda is gripped by fear of an epidemic 'explosion' as the killer virus develops a slower and potentially more lethal version Anushka Asthana in Kampala The Observer Sunday December 16 2007 It is a country where the President has asked people to stop shaking hands, where MPs have called for an end to public gatherings, market vendors wear gloves and Roman Catholic priests no longer give the communion wafers and wine by hand. Uganda is gripped by terror over a new strain of one of the world's most deadly diseases. Ebola haemorrhagic fever, which is spread by touch, kills between 50 and 90 per cent of victims. Thirty-two people have died and 120 people have the virus - in a nation where malaria kills 300 people a day - but it is the nature of the illness that has caused such panic. After an incubation period of up to 21 days, Ebola patients develop terrible symptoms: high fever, headache and joint pains, then vomiting and diarrhoea, and in some cases bleeding from the mouth, nose, eyes and ears. In most cases, multiple organ failure, haemorrhaging or shock brings death. This new strain is feared to kill more slowly than previously, leaving more time for the disease to spread. There is no vaccine and no cure. The only hope is to contain the lethal virus, but Ebola moves fast and is hard to track. If just one infected person boards a plane, this could become a global outbreak.

Vaccination Could Protect Wild Apes Against Ebola Virus LEIPZIG, Germany , April 16, 2007 (ENS) - Outbreaks of Ebola virus over the past 12 years have killed roughly 25 percent of the world gorilla population, and now the scientists who documented these deaths say vaccination of wild gorillas could help protect those that remain. A study published in the May issue of the journal "The American Naturalist" provides hope that newly developed vaccines can control the devastating impact of Ebola on wild apes. The hopeful clues come from the discovery that outbreaks may be amplified by Ebola transmission between ape social groups. "It means that vaccinating one gorilla does not protect only that gorilla, it also protects gorillas further down the transmission chain," said Peter Walsh of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, the lead author on the study. "Thus, protecting remaining ape populations may not require vaccinating a high proportion of individuals, as many people naively assume," Walsh said. Scientist Peter Walsh measures gorilla dung in his research to estimate the abundance of gorillas and chimpanzees and monitor the effects of the Ebola virus.

Scientists from the Vaccine Research Center (VRC) at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), one of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), designed the vaccine, which was administered to a volunteer at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda. The vaccine does not contain any infectious material from the Ebola virus. Ebola virus (Credit: CDC) Just three years ago, VRC Director Gary Nabel, M.D., Ph.D., together with a team of scientists from the VRC and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, described an experimental Ebola vaccine that fully protected monkeys from lethal infection by the virus. One component of that vaccine will now be assessed for safety in human volunteers. The trial vaccine, a type called a DNA vaccine, is similar to other investigational vaccines that hold promise for controlling such diseases as AIDS, influenza, malaria and hepatitis. “This trial is further evidence of the ability of the VRC to rapidly translate basic research into tangible products,” notes NIAID Director Anthony S. Fauci, M.D. “Our accelerated effort to understand and combat Ebola infection is part of the NIAID commitment to its biodefense mission. An effective Ebola vaccine not only would provide a life-saving advance in countries where the disease occurs naturally, it also would provide a medical tool to discourage the use of Ebola virus as an agent of bioterrorism.”
