Rwanda ’s first recorded infections of the Marburg virus, an Ebola-like hemorrhagic fever, is another sign that outbreaks of dangerous animal-borne diseases will become more frequent in an increasingly connected world.

The disease was first identified in 1967 when there were simultaneous outbreaks in the German town of Marburg and in Belgrade in the country now known as Serbia among laboratory workers handling green monkeys imported from Uganda .

Marburg , which also infects primates other than humans, causes symptoms including fevers, rashes and severe bleeding.
