埃博拉病毒是一种能导致人类及脊椎动物出血热的致死性病毒,病死率高达90%,对公共卫生具有严重危害,目前还没有针对埃博拉病毒有效的疫苗和药物或者治疗手段,世界卫生组织已经将埃博拉病毒列为对人类危害最为严重的病毒之一。2014年在非洲肆虐的埃博拉疫情日趋严重,针对埃博拉病毒的相关研究再次成为病毒学研究的热点。着重介绍了埃博拉病毒的一般特性、结构组成、生命周期,同时综述了埃博拉出血热的发病机制、临床表现,最后总结了抗埃博拉病毒的靶点与药物的最新研究进展,对中药预防与治疗埃博拉出血热的前景进行了展望,对人们了解埃博拉病毒和开发抗埃博拉病毒的药物起到推动作用。

[Abstract]
Ebola virus (EBOV) is a highly lethal virus leading to rapidly fatal hemorrhagic fever in humans and other vertebrates, whose mortality rate could be 90%. Up to now, there is still no effective anti-virus drug or vaccine. Because of severe public health hazard, EBOV has been listed in the most dangerous viruses to humans by WHO. Due to the outbreak of Ebola hemorrhagic fever (EHF) in Africa in 2014, the correlation research on EBOV has become the hot topic in virology. The general characteristics, structure composition, life cycle of virus, pathogenesis generalization, clinical manifestation of EHF were described in this review. The recent advances about the antiviral targets and drugs were also summarized, as well as prospect on the application of Chinese materia medica in anti-EBOV. In a word, the understanding of EBOV and drug development could be promoted by this review.
