What is filo viruses?
Filoviruses are a family of viruses known for causing severe hemorrhagic fevers in humans and non-human primates. The most notable members of this family include the Ebola virus and Marburg virus.

Transmission occurs through direct contact with infected fluids or tissues, making containment and prevention critical in managing outbreaks.
