Ebolavirus is a filamentous, enveloped virus within the order Mononegavirales which also contains rabies and measles viruses. [ 15] This order is characterized by non-segmented, single-stranded negative-sense RNA (-ssRNA) genomes that are surrounded by a helical nucleocapsid. [ 16] Filoviruses encode seven different proteins that include: NP ...
