Getting to Know Marburg Virus, Likely Becomes Pandemic
- WHO
Although there is no cure or vaccine, the WHO has held a meeting to find a solution to the Marburg virus. Minister Sadikin also said that developments regarding the nature of the Marburg virus have been obtained from WHO so that it is enough to monitor and don’t have to panic.
Furthermore, the World Health Organization (WHO) has held an urgent meeting on the cases, calling in experts from around the world to discuss how to tackle the disease. Equatorial Guinea, which has never dealt with a Marburg virus outbreak before, has quarantined more than 200 people and restricted movement.
Many who contract the disease experience severe internal bleeding within a week, with blood from the nose, gums, vagina, and vomit and feces, and die shortly thereafter. Moreover, there is no treatment or vaccine for Marburg.
"The virus is transmitted to humans from fruit bats, and can spread among humans through direct contact with bodily fluids, surfaces, and materials," the WHO said.
