In humans and nonhuman primates, Ebola virus causes a virulent viral hemorrhagic fever for which no licensed vaccines or therapeutic drugs exist. In the present study, we used the mouse model for Ebola hemorrhagic fever to assess the safety and efficacy of a vaccine based on a live attenuated vesicular stomatitis virus expressing the Zaire ebolavirus (ZEBOV) glycoprotein.
