- Traditional gene therapy vectors have demonstrated limited utility for treatment of chronic lung diseases such as cystic fibrosis (CF). Herein we describe a vector based on a Filovirus envelope protein-pseudotyped HIV vector

- The largest-ever recorded outbreak of viral hemorrhagic fever is ongoing. Due to the epidemic and rural nature of outbreaks, little is published about the Filovirus infections Ebola virus disease and Marburg disease in pregnancy.

- Analysis of Filovirus human outbreaks during the last 49 years, from the initial 1967 Marburg virus outbreak in Germany through the most recent 2014–15 Ebola virus epidemic in West Africa and in the Congo, indicates that these pathogens will continue to pose serious public health risks.
