Remdesivir is efficacious in rhesus monkeys exposed to aerosolized Ebola virus
Abstract Efficacious therapeutics for Ebola virus disease are in great demand. Ebola virus infections mediated by mucosal exposure, and aerosolization in particular, present a novel challenge due to nontypical massive early infection of respiratory lymphoid tissues. We performed a randomized and bli...
