Abstract:

Following an outbreak in 1976, virologists in Marburg discovered the Marburg virus. Since 1967, two significant outbreaks of the Marburg virus (MARV) have occurred. They occurred in 1998 and 2004. A MARV infection causes a fatal severe hemorrhagic fever that affects organs and may cause death. Human-to-human transmission and exposure to fruit bats in mines and caves both played a significant part in the expansion of MARV epidemics in African nations. WHO estimates that there is a high probability of national spread and a moderate risk of global dissemination for the epidemic in 2022. Due to the high fatality rate of up to 90%, thorough research into MARV diseases (MVD), which are linked to MARV infection, is essential. Large MARV outbreaks are uncommon, thus clinical examinations frequently fall short of supplying the essential data necessary to decide how to treat the condition. To better understand this harmful virus and the infection it causes, we reviewed and compiled important data on MARV disease outbreaks, pathophysiology, and mode of transmission, Lab diagnosis, symptoms and management strategies in this study.
