Marburg Hemorrhagic Fever
The Marburg virus is the causative agent of Marburg hemorrhagic fever. Both the disease and virus are related to Ebola and originate in the same part of Africa (Uganda and Eastern Congo). The zoonosis is of unknown origin, and bats have been suspected though the virus has never been successfully isolated in one.
In the spring of 2005, the virus attracted widespread press attention for an outbreak in Angola.
