The disease, known as Marburg virus disease (MVD), is similar to Ebola and can be lethal in up to 90 per cent of cases.
Emergency screening has begun at the Kenya-Uganda border in Turkana after three members of the same family died of the disease in Uganda.
The outbreak is thought to have started in September when a man in his 30s, who worked as a game hunter and lived near a cave with a heavy presence of bats, was admitted to a local health centre with a high fever, vomiting and diarrhoea.
Several hundred people are believed to have been exposed to the virus, which is among the most virulent pathogens known to infect humans.
Early symptoms include fever, chills, headache, and myalgia.
The news comes as Madagascar faces a deadly outbreak of plague, which has already claimed the lives of 127 people.

We need to bring these people to America to try and help them!! /sarc
Progressives: we would to bring these people to America, but Trump-the-Racist and his Deplorable Klansmen supporters won’t let us.
Obama wishes he could bring some patients here to the US to spread it around, just like Marxist money.
Racist named disease.
1. Trump places an emergency ban on travel from the affected countries.
2. Federal judge, accusing Trump of racism, stays ban.
How many infected Kenyans will we admit this year? Thank God Obama is not POTUS. Imagine him allowing his countrymen to flood our country just out of spite.
PING.
This looks like a job for The Diversity Visa Program!!!
The cure? Don’t live in a backward culture without sanitation and bizarre practices like “dancing with the dead.”
In before our resident experts. You know those who are suppose to protect us from such, but repeatedly did nothing to preent illegals from coming into the coutry and spreading disease that killed American children.
Just a bit worse that a bad cold. Shake it off you bunch of P#$$Y$!
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.
I still remember some guy out there power washing the sidewalk, splatting who knows what all over the place.
Thankfully Trump is president now. When the Ebola (I almost typed Obola) scare was going on it really brought home to me how awful it was to have someone who actively works against this country’s best interests in the White House.
Well, by this article, right?
MVD is apparently indistinguishable from ebola, and there is no connection symptoms-wise between that and any form of bacterial plague.
This is very concerning, and Obama should organize a delegation to go with him to help his fellow countrymen.
Isn’t there a special visa program for diseased foreign nationals?
