Wildlife-hunting communities in Forested Guinea are experiencing ongoing exposure to multiple filoviruses, including Ebola-related viruses, according to a study published by researchers from the Republic of Guinea, UK, US and Singapore.
🧵 What makes an antibody protective against SARS-CoV-2?
Neutralising antibodies get much of the attention - but antibodies can fight viruses in other ways too. In our new study by @caolann_b , we asked whether the antibody Fc region helps explain protection after vaccination.

🧵Could an existing Ebola vaccine offer some protection against a differentEbola virus?With the ongoing Bundibugyo virus (BDBV) outbreak in DR Congo - and no licensed BDBV-specific vaccine - our new data suggest there may be reason for cautious optimism.
We are delighted to receive this investment from CEPI and to collaborate with our colleagues in this important research project. We believe our study will provide critical information on the immunity to Ebola virus, to protect against BDBV from the current outbreak.
Do existing vaccines against Zaire ebolavirus generate immune responses to Bundibugyo ebolavirus?View quoted post on X
CEPI is investing US$4.17 million in four research projects to help answer this pressing question. The projects will test whether existing Ebola vaccines, including Ervebo, can generate immune responses against Bundibugyo ebolavirus, the virus behind the escalating outbreak in DRC. First results expected within months.
