Description
Claude Mambo Muvunyi and co-authors assemble a playbook for Marburg virus outbreaks in this 2024 guidance paper. The disease sits on the world list of pandemic-prone threats, and a live outbreak in Rwanda gave the team a fresh case to learn from. With no licensed vaccine or cure, preparation is the main defense.
They counted twenty outbreaks in fourteen countries since 1967, totaling 580 confirmed cases and 423 deaths. The paper sums up symptoms, tests, the fruit bat reservoir, and how the virus spreads and is treated with supportive care. Best practice, they argue, is a One Health response joining human, animal, and environmental work: handwashing and infection control, tracing contacts, isolating the sick, and coordinating across borders. Frontline health workers should get protective gear first. The authors aim the guidance at officials planning cost-effective readiness.
