We hypothesized that hepatocytes exposed to hepatitis C virus (HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) might be injured via an “innocent bystander” mechanism due to cell-surface binding of viral proteins. To assess this, we studied the effects of HCV envelope protein E2 and T-tropic HIV envelope ...

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).
