Marburg virus disease is endemic in African green monkeys and some bats, it can be transmitted to humans. The disease can be transmitted from person to person by exposure to blood and other bodily fluids.

Marburg virus disease is caused by viruses that produce symptoms of fever, chills, headaches and muscle aches early in the disease; symptoms worsen and may lead to hemorrhagic fever and death. Risk factors include exposure to African green monkeys and some bats; in addition, exposure to an infected human is high risk factor.

The diagnosis of Marburg virus disease is usually done by specialized laboratories. Treatment is limited to supportive care, usually in an intensive-care unit. Specialists that may be consulted include critical-care specialists, infectious-disease specialists, hematologists and lung specialists.

Prevention of Marburg viral disease involves avoiding contact with African animals and bats that may carry the disease and using strict isolation procedures to avoid any bodily fluids or tissues from humans infected with Marburg viruses. Complications of Marburg virus infections include eye, nerve, and bleeding problems.
