    The family Filoviridae is a virological taxon that was defined in 1982 and emended in 1991, 1998, 2000, 2005, 2010 and 2011. The family currently includes the six virus genera Cuevavirus, Dianlovirus, Ebolavirus, Marburgvirus, Striavirus, and Thamnovirus and is included in the order Mononegavirales.

  2. Mar 27, 2023 · Filoviruses, viral family Filoviridae, can cause hemorrhagic fever in humans and primates. There are three known genera of filoviruses: Cuevavirus, Marburgvirus, and Ebolavirus. These further subdivide into six species: Zaire, Sudan, Tai Forest, Bundibugyo, Reston, and Bombali.

  3. Filoviruses cause a severe hemorrhagic fever in human and non-human primates. Disease onset is sudden, with fever, chills, headache, myalgia, and anorexia. These symptoms may be followed by abdominal pain, sore throat, nausea, vomiting, cough, arthralgia, diarrhea, and pharyngeal and conjunctival vasodilitation.

  4. Sep 2, 2021 · Filoviruses. (Filoviridae) Viruses in the family Filoviridae can cause severe hemorrhagic fever in people and nonhuman primates (such as monkeys and gorillas) and may spread in other animals, such as bats. Filoviruses are enveloped in a lipid (fatty) membrane and appear in several shapes.

  5. Apr 25, 2019 · Members of the family Filoviridae produce variously shaped, often filamentous, enveloped virions containing linear non-segmented, negative-sense RNA genomes of 15–19 kb. Several filoviruses (e.g., Ebola virus) are pathogenic for humans and are highly virulent.
