Marburg virus is a highly infectious and potentially lethal virus that belongs to the family Filoviridae, which also includes the Ebola virus. The virus was first identified in 1967 after outbreaks occurred simultaneously in Marburg and Frankfurt, Germany, and in Belgrade, Yugoslavia (now Serbia). The virus is named after the German town of Marburg, where the first known cases occurred.
Marburg virus causes severe and often fatal hemorrhagic fever in humans and non-human primates. The virus is transmitted through contact with bodily fluids such as blood, urine, saliva, and vomit of infected individuals or animals. Symptoms typically appear within 5-10 days of exposure and include fever, headache, muscle aches, and diarrhea, which are often followed by severe bleeding, both internally and externally.
There is currently no specific treatment or vaccine for Marburg virus, and supportive care remains the primary treatment option. Early detection and prompt medical attention can improve the chances of survival. To prevent the spread of the virus, individuals at risk of exposure should take precautionary measures such as wearing personal protective equipment and avoiding contact with infected individuals or animals.
