BACKGROUND: Existing nonhuman primate models of Ebola virus infection have not fully characterized the physiology of shock and its association with daily virological, clinical, and immunological parameters. We implemented a nonhuman primate critical care model to study the progression and nature of shock following Ebola virus infection relative to viremia, organ dysfunction, coagulopathy, and daily high-dimensional circulating immune cell phenotyping. METHODS: Two rhesus macaques were inoculated intramuscularly with a target dose of 1000 plaque forming units of Ebola virus, Makona variant...
