The Ebola capsid is the protein shell that encases the genetic material of the Ebola virus. It consists of a single layer of proteins that form a helical structure, providing protection to the viral RNA and playing a crucial role in viral assembly and infection. The capsid's interactions with host cell machinery are essential for the virus's replication and pathogenicity. Understanding the capsid's structure and function is important for developing treatments and vaccines against Ebola virus disease.

What is the protein coat the surrounds a virus call?
The protein coat surrounding the nucleic acid of a virus is called the capsid. These are broadly classified according to their structures. Helical (cylindrical) and icosahedral (spherical) are the most common types.
Why is Ebola called Ebola?
Ebola hf stands for Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever.
What are the three types of capsid?
The three types of capsid are helical, icosahedral, and complex. Helical capsids have a cylindrical shape, icosahedral capsids have a polyhedral shape with 20 equilateral triangular faces, and complex capsids have a combination of both helical and icosahedral elements.
Why is Ebola called Ebola hf?
Ebola hf stands for Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever.
What caused Ebola?
Ebola is caused by one of four Ebola viruses: Ebola Zaire (most deadly), Ebola Sudan, Ebola Cote d' Ivoire, and Ebola Reston (found in Virgina, US, not deadly to humans)

What is the nucleic acid of a virus stored in?
The nucleic acid of a virus is stored in its viral capsid or envelope. The capsid or envelope protects the genetic material of the virus and helps it enter host cells to replicate.
