Résumé

Among the five currently recognized type viruses within the genus Ebolavirus, Reston virus (RESTV) is not known to cause disease in humans, although asymptomatic infections have been confirmed in the past. Intriguingly, despite the absence of pathogenicity in humans, RESTV is highly lethal to nonhuman primates and has been isolated from domestic pigs co-infected with other viruses in the Philippines and China. Whether infection in these animals can support the eventual emergence of a human-pathogenic RESTV remains unclear and requires further investigation. Unfortunately, there is currently no lethal small animal model available to investigate RESTV pathogenicity or pan-ebolavirus therapeutics. Here we show that wild type RESTV is uniformly lethal in ferrets. In this study, ferrets were challenged with 1260 TCID
