Disease

Marburg or Ebola viruses ( EBOV ) need to be handled in BSL4 Biological safety level 4. However the monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies, ELISAs and recombinant proteins do not need any specific safety measure because no active virus is involved. The Zaire Ebola strain is called ZEBOV. The Sudan virus is called SEBOV.
