Summary

Description
English: (A) Schematic representation of mature Ebola virion consisting of two main components—the nucleocapsid and envelope. The matrix comprising the virion proteins VP24 and VP40 is located between the nucleocapsid and envelope. Glycoprotein (GP) spikes are located on the surface of the envelope (B) The genome contains 7 genes which encode the six structural proteins and one non-structural protein [79]. The gene order is 5′-NTR-NP (nucleoprotein)-VP35-VP40 (Major matrix protein)-GP/sGP (Glycoprotein)-VP30-VP24 (Minor matrix protein)-RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (l)-3′-NTR [80].
