Abstract

Background: Marburg virus is cause hemorrhagic fever for human, and transmits by exposure to one species of fruit bats, and transmits from person to person by body fluid it cause fever and bleeding but not like Ebola virus symptoms. Aim: in this study use bioinformatics tools to design a vaccine using vp35 protein which is part of virus cell that can help to prevent Marburg virus from spreading. Material and Method: after retrieval sequence of VP35 protein from National center for biotechnology information (NCBI) ABCpred were used to indicate B-cell epitopes and NetMHc to identify T-cell epitopes. To identify antibody prediction epitopes for linear and discontinuous IEDP Elipro tools and their 3D structure was used. To identify allerginicity Allertop server and vaxijen 2 servers were used for the toxicity and Toxinpred was used. Results: a 32 B-cell epitopes and 72 T-cell epitopes with high conservancy epitopes, and no allergy mentioned and toxicity, also the 3D structure represent the predicted epitope vaccine in the two way discontinuous and linear one. Conclusion: Marburg virus is a very limited outbreak virus but once it start to infect someone, it will start to spread powerfully to infect many, due to its process of infection plus its dangerous that no treatment yet and even no vaccine, some scientists link Marburg virus with Ebola because they have the same symptoms and the same way of infection and source which is the fruit bat, but still commonly different in many ways but the complications remain the same. This designed vaccine can help and prevent people specially where disease outbreak.
