Three orthoebolaviruses(Bundibugyo virus [BDBV], Ebola virus [EBOV], and Sudan virus [SUDV]) are highly lethal human pathogens. Taï Forest virus(TAFV) has caused a single recorded case of severe but nonlethal human disease. Reston virus(RESTV) has, as far as is known, only caused one inapparent human infection. Although the pathogenicity of Bombali virus(BOMV) for humans is unclear..., infection studies using mice engrafted with human immune cells suggest that it might not be pathogenic in humans... 3, record 1, English, - orthoebolavirus

Malignant catarrhal fever(MCF) is a often fatal disease of cattle and wild ruminants, including some endangered species. The disease is caused by a group of herpesviruses that exist in nature as inapparent infection in certain species such as sheep. In order to better understand the epidemiology of the disease and to control the disease, we used a more reliable serological assay(competitive-inhibition ELISA) recently developed in our laboratory to determine the natural infection rate in wild and domestic ruminants in the US. 1, record 5, English, - competitive%20inhibition%20enzyme%2Dlinked%20immunosorbent%20assay
