M. H. Nguyen Submitted to the Microbiology Graduate Program on May 13th, 2019 in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy ABSTRACT Variable domains of camelid-derived heavy chain-only antibodies, or VHHs, have emerged as a unique antigen binding moiety that holds promise in its versatility and utilization as a tool to study biological questions. This thesis focuses on two aspects on developing tools to study infectious disease, specifically Ebolavirus entry. In Chapter 1, I provide an overview about antibodies and how antibodies have transformed the biomedical field and how single domain antibody fragments, or VHHs, have entered this arena. I will also touch upon how VHHs have been used in various fields and certain aspects that remain underexplored. Chapter 2 focuses on the utilization of VHHs to study Ebolavirus entry using VHHs that were isolated from alpacas.

  • How Severe and Prevalent Are Ebola and Marburg Viruses?
    Nyakarahuka et al. BMC Infectious Diseases (2016) 16:708 DOI 10.1186/s12879-016-2045-6 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access How severe and prevalent are Ebola and Marburg viruses? A systematic review and meta-analysis of the case fatality rates and seroprevalence Luke Nyakarahuka1,2,5* , Clovice Kankya2, Randi Krontveit3, Benjamin Mayer4, Frank N. Mwiine2, Julius Lutwama5 and Eystein Skjerve1 Abstract Background: Ebola and Marburg virus diseases are said to occur at a low prevalence, but are very severe diseases with high lethalities. The fatality rates reported in different outbreaks ranged from 24–100%. In addition, sero-surveys conducted have shown different seropositivity for both Ebola and Marburg viruses. We aimed to use a meta-analysis approach to estimate the case fatality and seroprevalence rates of these filoviruses, providing vital information for epidemic response and preparedness in countries affected by these diseases. Methods: Published literature was retrieved through a search of databases. Articles were included if they reported number of deaths, cases, and seropositivity. We further cross-referenced with ministries of health, WHO and CDC databases. The effect size was proportion represented by case fatality rate (CFR) and seroprevalence. Analysis was done using the metaprop command in STATA. Results: The weighted average CFR of Ebola virus disease was estimated to be 65.0% [95% CI (54.0–76.0%), I2 = 97.98%] whereas that of Marburg virus disease was 53.8% (26.5–80.0%, I2 = 88.6%). The overall seroprevalence of Ebola virus was 8.0% (5.0%–11.0%, I2 = 98.7%), whereas that for Marburg virus was 1.2% (0.5–2.0%, I2 = 94.8%).

  • Understanding Ebola
    Understanding Ebola With the arrival of Ebola in the United States, it's very easy to develop fears that the outbreak that has occurred in Africa will suddenly take shape in your state and local community. It's important to remember that unless you come in direct contact with someone who is infected with the disease, you and your family will remain safe. State and government agencies have been making preparations to address isolated cases of infection and stop the spread of the disease as soon as it has been positively identified. Every day, the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is monitoring developments, testing for suspected cases and safeguarding our lives with updates on events and the distribution of educational resources. Learning more about Ebola and understanding how it's contracted and spread will help you put aside irrational concerns and control any fears you might have about Ebola severely impacting your life. Use the resources below to help keep yourself calm and focused during this unfortunate time. Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever Ebola hemorrhagic fever (Ebola HF) is one of numerous Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers. It is a severe, often fatal disease in humans and nonhuman primates (such as monkeys, gorillas, and chimpanzees). Ebola HF is caused by infection with a virus of the family Filoviridae, genus Ebolavirus. When infection occurs, symptoms usually begin abruptly. The first Ebolavirus species was discovered in 1976 in what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo near the Ebola River. Since then, outbreaks have appeared sporadically. There are five identified subspecies of Ebolavirus.

  • Ebola Virus Disease Outbreak in North Kivu and Ituri Provinces, Democratic Republic of the Congo – Second Update
    RAPID RISK ASSESSMENT Ebola virus disease outbreak in North Kivu and Ituri Provinces, Democratic Republic of the Congo – second update 21 December 2018 Main conclusions As of 16 December 2018, the Ministry of Health of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has reported 539 Ebola virus disease (EVD) cases, including 48 probable and 491 confirmed cases. This epidemic in the provinces of North Kivu and Ituri is the largest outbreak of EVD recorded in DRC and the second largest worldwide. A total of 315 deaths occurred during the reporting period. As of 16 December 2018, 52 healthcare workers (50 confirmed and two probable) have been reported among the confirmed cases, and of these 17 have died. As of 10 December 2018, the overall case fatality rate was 58%. Since mid-October, an average of around 30 new cases has been reported every week, with 14 health zones reporting confirmed cases in the past 21 days. This trend shows that the outbreak is continuing across geographically dispersed areas. Although the transmission intensity has decreased in Beni, the outbreak is continuing in Butembo city, and new clusters are emerging in the surrounding health zones. A geographical extension of the outbreak (within the country and to neighbouring countries) cannot be excluded as it is unlikely that it will be controlled in the near future. Despite significant achievements, the implementation of response measures remains problematic because of the prolonged humanitarian crisis in North Kivu province, the unstable security situation arising from a complex armed conflict and the mistrust of affected communities in response activities.

  • CDC Fact Sheet Ebola Virus Disease
    Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) is a rare and deadly disease most commonly affecting people and nonhuman primates (monkeys, gorillas, chimpanzees). There are six known species of viruses within the genus Ebolavirus: Ebola virus (Zaire ebolavirus), Sudan virus (Sudan ebolavirus), Taï Forest virus (Taï Forest ebolavirus, formerly Cote d’Ivoire ebolavirus), Bundibugyo virus (Bundibugyo ebolavirus), Reston virus (Reston ebolavirus,) and Bombali virus (Bombali ebolavirus). Of these, only four are known to cause disease in people (Ebola, Sudan, Taï Forest, and Bundibugyo viruses). Reston virus is known to cause disease in nonhuman primates and pigs, but not in people. It is unknown if Bombali virus, which was recently identified in bats, causes disease in either animals or people. Ebola virus was first discovered in 1976 near the Ebola River in what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Since then, outbreaks have occurred sporadically in Africa. The natural reservoir host of Ebola viruses remains unknown. However, based on the nature of similar viruses, experts think the virus is animal-borne, with bats being the most likely reservoir. Transmission How the virus first infects a person at the start of an outbreak is not known. However, experts think the first patient becomes infected through contact with an infected animal such as a fruit bat or nonhuman primate. People can be infected with the Ebola virus through direct contact (like touching) with: • Blood or body fluids (urine, saliva, sweat, feces, vomit, breast milk, semen) of a person who is sick with or has died from EVD • Objects (such as clothes, bedding, needles, and syringes) contaminated with body fluids from a person sick with EVD or a body of a person who died from EVD • Blood or body fluids of infected fruit bats or nonhuman primates such as apes and monkeys • Semen from a man who recovered from EVD (through oral, vaginal, or anal sex) Ebola virus CANNOT spread to others when a person has no signs or symptoms of EVD.

  • The Role of Cytokines and Chemokines in Filovirus Infection
    Review The Role of Cytokines and Chemokines in Filovirus Infection Sandra L. Bixler * and Arthur J. Goff Received: 1 September 2015 ; Accepted: 14 October 2015 ; Published: 23 October 2015 Academic Editor: Jens H. Kuhn United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases, 1425 Porter St, Frederick, MD 21702, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-301-619-3014; Fax: +1-301-619-2290 Abstract: Ebola- and marburgviruses are highly pathogenic filoviruses and causative agents of viral hemorrhagic fever. Filovirus disease is characterized by a dysregulated immune response, severe organ damage, and coagulation abnormalities. This includes modulation of cytokines, signaling mediators that regulate various components of the immune system as well as other biological processes. Here we examine the role of cytokines in filovirus infection, with an emphasis on understanding how these molecules affect development of the antiviral immune response and influence pathology. These proteins may present targets for immune modulation by therapeutic agents and vaccines in an effort to boost the natural immune response to infection and/or reduce immunopathology. Keywords: Filovirus; Ebola; Marburg; cytokine; chemokine; immunopathology 1. Introduction 1.1. Filoviruses Filoviruses are approximately 80 nm in diameter and are filamentous in shape. The 19 kb genome is composed of a single linear non-segmented negative-sense RNA that encodes 7 genes: nucleoprotein (NP), the polymerase cofactor VP35, the matrix proteins VP40 and VP24, glycoprotein (GP), the transcription activator VP30, and an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (L). The family Filoviridae, which is composed of a group of enveloped, negative-sense ssRNA viruses, is divided into three genera: Ebolavirus, Marburgvirus, and Cuevavirus [1].

  • Ebola Virus Disease Outbreak in North Kivu and Ituri Provinces, Democratic Republic of the Congo – First Update 4 October 2018
    RAPID RISK ASSESSMENT Ebola virus disease outbreak in North Kivu and Ituri Provinces, Democratic Republic of the Congo – first update 4 October 2018 Main conclusions and options for response As of 30 September 2018, the Ministry of Health of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) reported 161 probable and confirmed cases of Ebola virus disease (EVD) in the Provinces of North Kivu and Ituri, making this the fourth largest outbreak of EVD recorded in DRC. Genetic analysis of the viral strains showed that there is no link between this outbreak and the one in Equateur province of DRC, reported in May this year. The DRC Ministry of Health is implementing its EVD response plan in the affected areas, supported by the World Health Organization and a range of regional and global partners. Contact tracing and monitoring of case contacts are ongoing. The rVSV-ZEBOV experimental vaccine has been offered to healthcare and frontline workers, case contacts and their contacts. Preparedness activities are ongoing in neighbouring Congolese provinces and bordering countries. Although no confirmed cases have been documented in neighbouring countries as of 30 September, the fact that the outbreak is ongoing in areas with important cross-border population flows (with Rwanda and Uganda) is of particular concern. In addition, implementation of response measures in the field remains challenging because the outbreak is occurring in areas affected by prolonged humanitarian crises and an unstable security situation arising from a complex armed conflict. The probability that EU/EEA citizens living or travelling in EVD-affected areas of DRC will be exposed to the disease is low, provided they adhere to the precautionary measures recommended below.

Mazet1 Abstract Background: The second largest Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak began in the Democratic Republic of Congo in July 2018 in North Kivu Province. Data suggest the outbreak is not epidemiologically linked to the 2018 outbreak in Equateur Province, and that independent introduction of Ebola virus (EBOV) into humans occurred. We tested for antibodies to ebolaviruses in febrile patients seeking care in North Kivu Province prior to the EVD outbreak. Methods: Patients were enrolled between May 2017 and April 2018, before the declared start of the outbreak in eastern DRC.
