What exactly is a Marburg virus?

The Ebola virus and the Marburg virus are both members of the viral family Filoviridae, which includes the animal-borne Marburg virus.

While laboratory employees in Marburg, Frankfurt, and Belgrade, Yugoslavia (modern-day Serbia), displayed symptoms of hemorrhagic fever and were then exposed to infected African monkeys, researchers made the initial discovery of the Marburg virus in 1967.

Since then, the Marburg virus has been responsible for roughly 600 human infections, including epidemics in Uganda and Angola.

How does the Marburg virus spread among people?

The Marburg virus is the source of Marburg's illness (MVD). The African fruit bat is the principal Marburg virus carrier. A person can contract the disease through prolonged contact with infected bats in caves or mines, as well as through contact with the bodily fluids or feces of an affected animal.
