... The first step in viral infection is attachment, interaction of a virion with aspecific receptor site on the surface of a cell. Receptor molecules differ for different viruses but are generally glycoproteins. In some cases the virus binds protein sequences (eg, picornaviruses) and in others oligosac ...

Marburg virus disease
Marburg virus disease (MVD; formerly Marburg hemorrhagic fever) is a severe illness of humans and non-human primates caused by either of the two marburgviruses, Marburg virus (MARV) and Ravn virus (RAVV). MVD is a viral hemorrhagic fever (VHF), and the clinical symptoms are indistinguishable from Ebola virus disease (EVD).
