Marburgviruses: An Update.
Laboratory Medicine 2018 August 7
Ebolaviruses have gained much attention recently due to the outbreak from 2014 through 2016. The related marburgviruses also have been responsible for large outbreaks with high case fatality rates. The purpose of this article is to provide the clinical laboratory scientist with a review of the most current developments in marburgvirus research. The PubMed database was reviewed using the keywords "Marburg virus," "Ravn virus," and "marburgviruses," with publication dates from January 1, 2015 through June 20, 2017. The search yielded 345 articles. In total, 52 articles met the inclusion criteria and were reviewed. Advances have been made in the areas of ecology and host reservoir studies, seroprevalence studies, pathology and pathogenesis studies, laboratory assay development, and treatment and vaccine development. Marburgviruses are highly lethal viruses that pose a significant threat to the human population. Although numerous advances have been made, there are still large gaps in knowledge, and it is imperative that scientists gain more information to fully understand virus/host interactions. An approved vaccine and treatment remain elusive.
