Blocking the spread of Marburg virus (IMAGE)
Caption
Marburg virus-like-particles (in green, which are not infectious) "bud," or exit from the surface of a host cell. A host protein (in yellow) helps the VLPs bud. Research by Penn Vet researchers and colleagues have identified a compound that can reduce the ability of the Marburg virus to spread in an animal model by blocking the host-viral interaction. This image was obtained from the PennVet Microscopy Core Facility directed by Dr. Bruce Freedman and managed by Dr. Gordon Ruthel.
