The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued a warning on the Marburg epidemic that has been occurring in Africa, claiming that the virus has the potential to become the next pandemic. Marburg is a hemorrhagic illness that is extremely contagious and has a mortality rate that can range from 23 to 90 percent.

The Possibility of an Outbreak of Marburg

The World Health Organization (WHO) has determined that Marburg has the potential to become a pandemic. As a direct consequence of this, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) made an announcement this week that the National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases will be mobilized to react to the outbreaks in Guinea and Tanzania.

The outbreak in Equatorial Guinea and Tanzania

Equatorial Guinea made the initial discovery of the virus in February and made a public announcement about it. Since then, the government has officially registered nine instances, and there are an additional 20 suspected cases. The WHO reports that all of the people who became ill with the disease have passed away. According to the WHO, Tanzania is one of the countries on the African continent that is reporting an epidemic of the Marburg virus and has confirmed eight cases, including five fatalities.

The CDC strongly recommends that travelers avoid contact with

Last week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued advice to tourists in Guinea and Tanzania, advising them to stay away from sick individuals and healthcare institutions in places where an epidemic is occurring. According to a report by Fox News, they have also been warned to be vigilant for the onset of symptoms for a period of three weeks after leaving the affected region.

Transmission and Analysis of the Disease

It is possible for the Marburg virus to spread through the blood or other bodily fluids of a person who is afflicted with the virus or who has died as a result of the virus. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), diagnosing Marburg virus disease (MVD) can be challenging, and clinical diagnosis can be complicated due to the fact that many of the symptoms are comparable to those of other infectious diseases or viral hemorrhagic fevers that may be endemic in the area.

No Vaccine Available

There is currently no vaccination available to prevent Marburg. The National Institute of Health (NIH), on the other hand, stated in January that human trials seem “promising.” It is vital to keep in mind that those in positions of power were the ones who developed this vaccine and distributed the “promising” report on it.

Conclusions and musings

The current Marburg outbreak in Africa is a major cause for concern since the disease has the capability of spreading rapidly and has the potential to become the next pandemic. It is imperative to respect the warning issued by the CDC and refrain from coming into touch with ill persons as well as healthcare institutions in the areas where the epidemic is occurring. Although there is not vaccination that can be purchased at this time, it is encouraging to see that human tests for a prospective vaccine are showing signs of success.
