Background: Interruption of transmission chains has been crucial in the COVID-19 response. The Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) at the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) coordinated cross-border case and contact tracing activities at the national level by sharing data with German public health authorities (PHA) and other countries. Data on these activities were not collected in the national surveillance system, and thus were challenging to quantify.

- In 2015, a study at an Ebola treatment center in Guinea assessed data from 286 EVD patients, focusing on factors like blood chemistry and the impact of favipiravir treatment.
- 163 patients were selected for a detailed analysis, revealing that favipiravir-treated patients had a lower case-fatality rate and longer survival times compared to untreated patients.
- While favipiravir treatment did not show a statistically significant impact on overall survival rates, it indicated a trend towards better outcomes consistent with previous research.
Cytokinesis partitions the cytoplasm of dividing eukaryotic cells. In higher plants, a dynamic microtubule array--phragmoplast--mediates the formation of the partitioning membrane--cell plate--in a centrifugal fashion. This phragmoplast dynamic involves microtubule-associated proteins.
