An outbreak of the Marburg virus has been confirmed in Equatorial Guinea, Central Africa, with at least 16 cases and 9 deaths so far. Marburg is a close cousin of the Ebola virus, which killed more than 11,000 people in West Africa in 2014-2016. Marburg is carried by animals, including fruit bats, pigs, and primates. The virus was first identified in Germany in 1967 among lab workers infected by African green monkeys.
