By Anna Smith A new study in the BMJ has identified two new drugs, mAb114 and REGN-EB3, that can dramatically cut mortality from Ebola, and both are being immediately offered to all patients in an effort to control the Democratic Republic of Congo’s (DRC) worst-ever outbreak. The trial initially compared four potential treatments proposed by four different companies: ZMapp, remdesivir, mAb114, and REGN-EB3, and preliminary data convinced the trial’s monitoring board to stop the study and randomize all remaining patients to either mAb114 or REGN-EB3.

Among all patients who took the drugs, those treated with REGN-EB3 had a mortality rate of 29%, while those who got mAb-114 had a mortality rate of 34%. Both drugs are monoclonal antibodies, proteins that bind to other proteins on the outer shell of the Ebola ...

Can Bats Predict the Next Ebola Outbreak?

A new study was conducted by Paolo Bocchini, associate professor of civil and environmental engineering, Javier Buceta, an associate professor of bioengineering, and postdoctoral researcher Graziano Fiorillo. They were affiliated with the Lehigh University in Bethlehem, PA. They hypothesized that, since fruit bats carry the Ebola virus, tracking down their migratory patterns might give information about the time and location of the next outbreak.
