Abstract:

The Ebola virus (EBOV) VP35 protein plays an important role in the inhibition of the initial innate immune responses to EBOV infection leading to Ebola virus disease development. In fact, VP35 interaction with the RIG-I like receptors (RLR) cascade components inhibits the interferon (IFN) production, impeding proper host immune response. Hence, it has been shown that VP35 is a validate drug target. Full-length His-tagged recombinant VP35 (rVP35) has been previously expressed in prokaryotic system and used to validate a biochemical pull-down assay for the screening of small molecules targeted t

Abstract:

Genom kritiska diskursanalyser ämnar studien att undersöka nyhetsrapporteringen av ebola i de svenska tidningarna Dagens Nyheter och Aftonbladet. Delvis för att få förståelse för hur mediepanik skapas, men även hur relationen mellan nyhetsläsaren och den lidande konstrueras. Undersökningsperioden för studien är oktober 2014. Den tidigare forskningen som belyses i denna undersökning är studier om nyhetsrapporteringar kring svininfluensan, SARS-smittan och salmonellabakterien. Dessa visar på att de intensiva perioderna i nyhetsrapporteringen ofta innefattar användningen av visuella och lingvisti

Results using frequency testing showed that senior respondents were not knowledgeable about disease transmission. The major trusted sources of information identified were tele

Abstract:

Filoviruses cause sporadic outbreaks of highly lethal hemorrhagic fever throughout central Africa. Virus entry is mediated by the sole viral glycoprotein, GP. Furthermore, GP is the main target for neutralizing antibodies. Thus, a better understanding of GP and its functions is critical for the development of antivirals and vaccines. GP contains a high number of N- and O-linked glycans, which shield the majority of the protein. These glycans are required for cell surface interactions with C-type lectins that mediate internalization of the virus. We found that GP1, but not GP2, N-linked glycans

Recent studies have shown that Ebola virus can persist in wastewater, and the potential for the virus to be aerosolized and pose a risk of inhalation exposure has not been evaluated. We considered this risk for three wastewater systems: toilets, a lab-scale model of an aeration basin, and a lab-scale model of converging sewer pipes. We measured the aerosol size distribution generated by each system, spiked Ebola virus surrogates into each system, and determined the emission rate of viruses into the air. While the number of aerosols released ranged from 105 to 107 per flush from the toilets or

Ebola, a type of filovirus that causes hemorrhagic fevers, dominated global headlines in 2014 when the largest Ebola epidemic in history took place in West Africa.

While personal protective equipment (PPE) protects the healthcare practitioner by providing an effective barrier against the virus, users were also at risk for heat stress because of

Abstract:

This thesis describes an analysis of the B cell repertoire in humans in response to infection or vaccination with Influenza or Ebola. We isolated monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) from individuals using single B cell cloning and PCR technology, and defined their epitopes, binding characteristics and neutralisation properties. As summarised by Thomas Francis in 1960, we found that the secondary B cell response to Influenza is largely determined by the primary response to the virus that the donor was exposed to in childhood. In some individuals this can lead to focusing of the polyclonal antibody res

Abstract:

This paper aims to investigate media coverage of disease outbreaks and epidemics by focusing on the 2014 Ebola outbreak and the AIDS epidemic as specific examples. Using news articles and scientific reports, this paper investigates the biology and history of both diseases to provide context and analyze how news coverage changes. A study of articles published by news organizations such as The New York Times, The Economist, TIME, Associated Press, and The Los Angeles Times reveals that media coverage of disease outbreaks and epidemics follows three different "waves": early scientific reporting,

Abstract:

In early 2014, 3 West African states of Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone made news headlines when Ebola virus disease (EVD) ravaged the sub-region. The Liberian government was ill-equipped to efficiently contain EVD outbreak due to inadequate training for hospitals and healthcare workers. The government's mandatory cremation policies and the banning of public gatherings significantly contributed to the spread of EVD. EVD infected 10,666 and 4,808 died from the disease in the first 6 months of the epidemic. Using Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) as the theoretical framework, the purpose

Abstract:

Sierra Leone had the highest number of cases of Ebola virus disease in history during the 2014 Ebola epidemic. The purpose of this quantitative, cross-sectional study was to examine the relationship between sociocultural and behavioral risk factors and Ebola status among women and men ages 15 to 49 years in Sierra Leone. The ecological model served as the theoretical framework. Secondary data were collected from the Sierra Leone Ebola Disease Survey. Results of chi-square tests revealed that attending a funeral (p = .001), touching a dead body at a funeral (p = .023), contact with a sick perso

Introduction: Recent Ebola epidemic in West Africa have put viral hemorrhagic fever diseases in the spotlight. Uganda has had several outbreaks throughout the years, which have successfully been managed. Nurses’ patient education plays an important role in the work to increase public awareness about viral hemorrhagic fever diseases. Objectives: To assess how nurses at the emergency department educate the patients and relatives about the viral hemorrhagic fever diseases. Methods: An explorative and descriptive qualitative study with qualitative approach have been used. In-depth interviews with

Syfte och frågeställning: Att undersöka hur två svenska nyhetstidningar valt att skildra en nyhet under vald period. Detta görs genom att besvara följande frågeställning: På vilket sätt skildrar Dagens Nyheter och Svenska Dagbladet ebolaviruset i sina tidningsartiklar från 1 maj 2014 till och med den 31 oktober 2014? Metod och material: Kvantitativ innehållsanalys på samtliga artiklar publicerade i DN och SvD under perioden 1 maj 2014 till och med 31 oktober 2014 samt diskursanalys på sex artiklar. Huvudresultat: I studien framkom det en tydlig förändring i artiklarna under hela undersökningsp

Abstract:

Ebola virus (EBOV) is a re-emerging zoonotic virus (it is transmitted between animals and humans) that causes acute hemorrhagic fever and a high fatality rate in humans. First reported in 1976 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (formerly Zaire), the virus is transmitted between humans through direct contact with body fluids of an infected person, causing fever, weakness, diarrhea, abdominal pain, cramping, nausea and vomiting in those affected. There is neither a licensed vaccine nor an approved treatment for Ebola virus in human patients. The reservoir species for Ebola virus is similarl
