Who is Charles Monet?
Answer He was a character in Richard Preston's book 'The Hot Zone' Charles Monet Died of the Marburg Virus in Nairobi. Charles Monet was a loner. He was a Frenchman who lived by himself in a bungalow on the private parts of Nzoia Sugar Factory, a plantation in Eastern Kenya, where he lived and worked. Charles had a lot of girl friends, and he was one of the first virus cases of Marburg in the book The Hot Zone. He had gotten Marburg by either touching the bat guano after getting cut by the crystals on the cave wall, contact with monkeys, or sexual intercourse with his girlfriend. He had gone to Kitum Cave in Mt. Elgon with a girl. The girl was a prostitute and probably had HIV or AIDS. Charles Monet, this name really doesn't exist because during the book it clearly says that the author, Richard Preston had changed the names. Charles threw up black vomit, and crashed in the Nariobi hospital where he passed this virus to Dr. Musoke. Musoke had tried to save Monet, but Monet threw up in his face and infected him. Charles died in the hospital. The location of his grave was forgotten. Dr. Musoke survived Marburg and still works today as a physician in the Nariobi hostipal. Dr. Silverstein, the doctor that treated Musoke had sent some blood tests to U.S and now they Marburg virus is also called the Musoke Marburg virus. 25% of people with Marburg die, even with hospital treatment. I recommend you to read The Hot Zone.
