Inside the Cell: Assembly of Filoviruses

Curr Top Microbiol Immunol. 2017:411:353-380. doi: 10.1007/82_2017_15.

Abstract

This chapter reviews our current knowledge about the spatiotemporal assembly of filoviral particles. We will follow particles from nucleocapsid entry into the cytoplasm until the nucleocapsids are enveloped at the plasma membrane. We will also highlight the currently open scientific questions surrounding filovirus assembly.
