ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: Ebolaviruses and marburgviruses, which cause viral haemorrhagic fevers in humans and often prove to be fatal, are part of the Filviridae family. The virus family was first identified in 1967 from green monkeys by laboratory workers in Germany and Yugoslavia and since then, there have been several outbreaks and large epidemics related to it. In this paper, we compared the protein sequences encoded in the RNA genomes of ebolaviruses and marburgviruses particularly focusing on VP24, VP35, and GP. In addition, by examining the position and frequency of each amino acid, we analyzed the similarities between the two members of the filviridae family.
