Marburg Virus Outbreak in Rwanda: Should We Be Alarmed?

Rwanda is facing its first outbreak of Marburg virus disease, a deadly illness similar to Ebola with no treatment or vaccines, resulting in 26 cases and 8 deaths so far.
International organizations like the World Health Organization and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are sending experts to assist Rwanda's health ministry in managing the outbreak, while Rwanda's strong public health system is aiding containment efforts.
