What is the mar-burg viruses?

Marburg virus is a highly infectious virus that causes severe viral hemorrhagic fever in humans and nonhuman primates. It is similar to the Ebola virus and can be transmitted through direct contact with infected bodily fluids. Outbreaks of Marburg virus disease have occurred primarily in Central and East Africa.


What was the origin of the Marburg virus?

The Marburg virus is thought to originate from fruit bats, which serve as natural reservoir hosts. Humans can contract the virus through direct contact with infected bats or their bodily fluids. It was first identified in 1967 when outbreaks occurred simultaneously in Marburg and Frankfurt, Germany.


What is the cure for the marbug virus?

There is no specific cure for the Marburg virus. Treatment focuses on supportive care to manage symptoms and complications, such as maintaining fluid balance, providing pain relief, and treating any secondary infections.

Marburg virus lytic or lysogenic?

There is a specific difference between the 2 cycles. In the Lytic cycle, the virus DNA/RNA remains separate from the Host's DNA. In the Lysogenic cycle, the virus DNA/RNA is incorporated (combined) into the host's DNA. Any virus injects its DNA into a host's cell. No matter what, in both cycles, the host cell ends up bursting and releasing the viruses. The Marburg virus incubates (grows) inside a host's cell, usually from 5-7 days, but can range from 3-10 days overall. It also produces new viruses which release into the organism (in this case, the human or primate). The Marburg Virus goes through both lytic and lysogenic cycles.
