The announcement comes after two unrelated patients from the southern Ashanti region of Ghana, both of whom later died, tested positive for the virus.

The patients had shown symptoms including diarrhea, fever, nausea, and vomiting, WHO said, adding that more than 90 contacts are being monitored.

Marburg is a highly infectious viral hemorrhagic fever in the same family as the better known Ebola virus disease and has a fatality ratio of up to 88%, according to WHO. "Illness begins abruptly, with high fever, severe headache, and malaise," it stated.

The virus is transmitted to humans from fruit bats and can then be spread human-to-human through direct contact with the bodily fluids of infected people or surfaces and materials contaminated with these fluids...

The Ghana Health Service has urged the Ghanaian public to avoid mines and caves occupied by fruit bats and to thoroughly cook all meat products before consumption, to help reduce the risk of spreading the virus

Ok, I have to admit. I have lost track. Is this virus the world ending virus? Number 4, 5, 6?

I need a cheat sheet to keep track. Someone help me out here.

“A Possible Marburg-RiVax Final Solution”

September 22, 2021

“...During my research into the false claims of excess deaths caused by COVID-19 and
the pseudo-sciences which supports it, I have stumbled over some very worrying
developments which I will summarise due to the urgency I feel to highlight them to
the public as follows: –
Bill Gates GAVI published an article on 22-Apr-2021 titled “The next pandemic:
Marburg?”. There have been numerous Mainstream Media articles highlighting
an upcoming threat Marburg and referencing the WHO in recent months.
Marburg Virus is a relatively rare haemorrhagic fever which was first described
in 1967, there have only been a total of 376 related deaths, and only 16 deaths
since 2005.
Primerdesign developed a one-step Real-Time PCR test genesig® in 2018 for
Marburg haemorrhagic fever. Why would they develop a test in 2018 for an
illness which has not had a major outbreak since 2005?
Soligenix, are currently rushing to trial a ricin-rich vaccine RiVax® for Marburg
haemorrhagic fever. RiVax has Fast Track designation for the prevention of ricin
intoxication by the US FDA. Approval of ricin toxin vaccine will utilize the FDA
Animal Rule to eliminate the phase 1, 2 & 3 trials. Why such a rush now, to
trial a vaccine for which there has only been a total of 376 deaths since 1967
and only 16 deaths since 2005? The main component of the Rivax vaccine is
Ricin is a lectin and a highly potent toxin produced in the seeds of the castor oil
plant.
Soligenix shareholders include BlacRrock Fund Advisors, Goldman Sachs & Co...”

Biggest/best infection vector point on the planet.

Anybody want to start a pool on date of first recorded case on the US/MEX border?

I'll take 7/21/2022.

It is, like Ebola, BSL4. You have to beware of fomites.

I remember when Marburg and Lassa first were identified. It killed people in labs as well as those exposed while treating the sick. It was a scary and exciting time for virology.
