Marburg Virus The New Pandemic? (watch) by NigerGossip(m): 1:24pm On Aug 21, 2022
Two fatal cases of Marburg virus disease (MVD) were reported from Ashanti region, Ghana. On 28 June 2022, these cases were notified to health authorities as suspected viral hemorrhagic fever (VHF) cases and tested positive for Marburg virus on 1 July 2022. An outbreak of MVD has only been reported once previously in West Africa, and this is the first time MVD has been notified in Ghana.

Concern about the outbreak make some people intense in there daily life,

Thinking if this virus could be another Pandemic??
Which bring about the question what is Marburg virus?

Marburg virus disease (MVD) is a rare but severe hemorrhagic fever which affects both people and non-human primates.

MVD is caused by the Marburg virus, a genetically unique zoonotic (or, animal-borne) RNA virus of the filovirus family.

The six species of Ebola virus are the only other known members of the filovirus family.

Marburg virus was first recognized in 1967, when outbreaks of hemorrhagic fever occurred simultaneously in laboratories in Marburg and Frankfurt, Germany and in Belgrade, Yugoslavia (now Serbia). Thirty-one people became ill, initially laboratory workers followed by several medical personnel and family members who had cared for them.

Does that make any sense to you?
