Statistics




Marburg disease is a rare but severe hemorrhagic fever that can cause serious illness and death. Symptoms can be similar to other tropical diseases, making diagnosis challenging. There is no treatment or vaccine for Marburg disease. The disease spreads through contact with infected animals or people.

this pet is inspired by the novel HOT ZONE
the book is in four sections

The Shadow of Mount Elgon starts off exploring the history of filoviruses and the origins of AIDS and mentions Charles Monet who has severe symptoms and the impact on a young physician, Nancy Jaax, who treats him.
next section, The Monkey House discusses the discovery of Reston virus among imported monkeys in Reston, Virginia, and the actions taken by the U.S. Army and Centers for Disease Control. the story then focuses on the Reston epizootic, a strain of the virus that does not affect humans but easily spreads by air. and lastly in section Smashdown. and lastly, the author finishes the novel with Kitum Cave, that tells of the author's visit to the back to the cave that is the suspected home of the natural host animal in which Ebola lives.
