Summary
Marburg virus disease is a dreadful and infectious disease. While the disease typically starts out like many other tropical illnesses like body aches, it can quickly lead to severe bleeding, shock, and death.
Outbreaks of Marburg virus are extremely uncommon. Initial cases have been linked to exposure to African fruit bats and non-human primates, but the virus can also spread from person-to-person through body fluids like blood or vomit.
As many as 90% people with the virus die as a result of the infection.
There is no effective cure for MVD (Marburg virus disease), and the most effective way to immune or treat yourself from Marburg virus disease is to prevent it altogether.
