Filoviridae (/ˌfaɪloʊˈvɪrɪdiː/[1]) is a family of single-stranded negative-sense RNA viruses in the order Mononegavirales.[2] Two members of the family that are commonly known are Ebola virus and Marburg virus. Both viruses, and some of their lesser known relatives, cause severe disease in humans and nonhuman primates in the form of viral hemorrhagic fevers.[3]
All filoviruses are classified by the US as select agents,[4] by the World Health Organization as Risk Group 4 Pathogens (requiring Biosafety Level 4-equivalent containment),[5] by the National Institutes of Health/National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases as Category A Priority Pathogens,[6] and by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as Category A Bioterrorism Agents,[7] and are listed as Biological Agents for Export Control by the Australia Group.[8]
