Ebola Virus Persistence in Immune-Privileged Niches: Molecular Mechanisms, Host–Virus Interactions, and Therapeutic Opportunities
Ebola virus disease (EVD) has traditionally been conceptualized as an acute, fulminant illness culminating in either death or apparent systemic viral clearance. However, clinical, virological, and genomic evidence gathered since the 2013–2016 West African epidemic demonstrates that Ebola virus (EBOV) can persist for mo...
