The Hindu  

“A suspected outbreak of the Marburg virus in northwest Tanzania has infected 9 people, killing 8 of them,” the World Health Organization has said, weeks after an outbreak of the disease was declared over in neighbouring Rwanda. The WHO said it received reliable reports of suspected cases in the Kagera region of Tanzania on January 10, with symptoms of headache, high fever, back pain, diarrhoea, vomiting blood, muscle weakness and finally external bleeding. The outbreak in Rwanda, which shares a border with Tanzania’s Kagera region, infected 66 people and killed 15 before it was declared over on December 20, 2024. Marburg virus can spread between people through direct contact or via blood and other bodily fluids of infected people, including contaminated bedding or clothing.
