Nor will it attempt to substitute for the extraordinarily rich literature on the atomic bombs and the end of World War II. This collection does not attempt to document the origins and development of the Manhattan Project.
Background. The Ebola virus is an âenveloped virus,â meaning that the core of the virus is surrounded by a lipoprotein outer layer. Enveloped viruses such as Ebola are more susceptible to destruction with a number of physical and chemical agents than viruses without lipoprotein envelopes (Figure).ackground.

Filoviruses are enveloped, nonsegmented negative-stranded RNA viruses. The two species, Marburg and Ebola virus, are genetically distinct with 7 genes and a total molecular length of approximately 19 kb (19112 bp), making them the owners of the largest known genomes of negative-strand RNA viruses.
