Since Ebola virus was discovered in 1970s, the virus has persisted in Africa and sporadic fatal outbreaks in humans and non-human primates have been reported. However, the evolutionary history of Ebola virus remains unclear. In this study, 27 Ebola virus strains with complete glycoprotein genes, including five species (Zaire, Sudan, Reston, Tai Forest, Bundibugyo), were analysed. Here, we propose a hypothesis of the evolutionary history of Ebola virus which will be helpful to investigate the molecular evolution of these viruses.
自 20 世纪 70 年代埃博拉病毒被发现以来,该病毒一直存在于非洲,并且在人类和非人类灵长类动物中时有爆发,且死亡率极高。然而,埃博拉病毒的进化史仍不清楚。在这项研究中,对 27 株具有完整糖蛋白基因的埃博拉病毒株进行了分析,包括五个种(扎伊尔、苏丹、雷斯顿、泰森林、邦迪布尤)。在这里,我们提出了一个关于埃博拉病毒进化历史的假说,这将有助于研究这些病毒的分子进化。
