1. An antiviral composition for treating an Ebola virus infection, comprising:

  • an antisense morpholino oligomer composed of morpholino subunits linked by phosphorous-containing intersubunit linkages which join a morpholino nitrogen of one subunit to a 5′

    exocyclic carbon of an adjacent subunit, wherein the oligomer comprises a targeting sequence which forms a heteroduplex with a target sequence within the AUG start site region of Ebola VP35 mRNA, and wherein the antisense oligomer inhibits virus production, wherein the antisense oligomer has at least 12 contiguous bases from a targeting sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOS;

    21 -26.
