Marburg Virus Confirmed in Uganda as Ebola Outbreak Continues Across Africa
Ars Technica·Sunday, 5 July 2026
Africa's CDC has confirmed a case of Marburg virus in Uganda, a rare and deadly disease, even as an Ebola outbreak continues in the region. Early reports suggest there may be a second Marburg case, though health officials believe the spread is currently localised. Both Marburg and Ebola are severe viral haemorrhagic fevers with high fatality rates.
