* [[Garcinia Kola]] : Preliminary study of the plant in the 1990s showed signs that it may benefit ebola victims by slowing down multiplication of the virus.
* A study at the University of Texas Medical Branch, found that [[genistein]] and tyrophostin (a pharmaceutical drug) individually inhibit the entry of these viruses into the cells, both through interfering with endocytosis (the process by which a cell pulls in a virus) and uncoating proteins (the process by which a virus alters proteins on the surface of the host cell to gain entry). It was also observed that a synergistic effect occurred when genistein and tyrophostin were added together.
