With a high mortality rate, the Marburg virus, which causes high fever, often accompanied by hemorrhages affecting multiple organs, is part of the filovirus family, to which the Ebola virus belongs. The latter has already caused several deadly epidemics in Africa.
The Marburg virus epidemic has ended in
Rwanda, where no new cases or deaths have been reported for nearly two weeks, Sabin Nsanzimana said during a press briefing of the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"Marburg virus in Rwanda is over. I am very happy to report here today that it has been almost two weeks without a case and a month without a death related to Marburg disease," he said.
According to the minister, all patients treated for the virus were discharged from hospitals, and the total number of victims of the epidemic amounted to 15 people.
The Marburg fever epidemic was declared in Rwanda on September 28, while the
vaccination campaign with an experimental vaccine began in October.
