Filoviruses belong to a virus family called Filoviridae and can cause severe hemorrhagic fever in humans and non-human primates. So far, only two members of this virus family have been identified: Marburg virus and Ebola virus. Four subtypes of Ebola virus have been identified: Ivory Coast, Sudan, Zaire, and Reston. The Reston subtype is the only known filovirus that does not cause severe disease in humans; however, it can be fatal in monkeys. (Source: excerpt from Filoviruses: DVRD)
