A virus closely related to Ebola with a 50% death rate, which is not widely known because no large outbreaks have been reported for decades. The early symptoms include jaundice, blood in eyes, and head and stomach pains. Later symptoms are vomiting up one’s stomach lining and blood (or vomito negro), meager brain activity, and hemorrhaging, which includes the liquifying of one’s organs and blood seeping from all orifices. Marburg is closely linked to bat guano in Kitum Cave.
Shem Musoke is a survivor of Marburg virus, which he was infected with after a patient with it vomited in his face.
