Conclusion Marburg virus disease remains a significant global health threat due to its high fatality rate, zoonotic origin, and potential for human-to-human transmission.

A 25-year-old local scientist captured rare footage showing how one of the world’s deadliest viruses could jump from bats to humans.

For past Marburg outbreaks in Uganda , two spillover pathways have been identified: the first, involves humans coming into contact with a fruit bat habitat (namely caves filled with bat guano).

Some stood just metres from a known Marburg virus reservoir. Importantly, the Uganda Wildlife Authority has built a sanctioned viewing platform about 35 metres from the cave.
