Abstract

Infectious diseases are defined as a group of diseases caused by any infecting microorganism which are highly potent to severely affect human life. The end can vary from critical infection to mortality. Most infectious diseases are reported with a rapid rate of transmission. Marburg virus disease is a kind of infectious viral disease usually manifested as hemorrhagic fever. The latest reported case of Marburg virus disease confirmed by WHO was on 6th August 2021 in the south-western province of Guinea. Marburg virus disease exhibit similar manifestations to that of infection with the Ebola virus. Though not widely spread to emerge as a pandemic, Marburg virus disease remains a serious threat to human life. This review emphasizes the novel current facts determined through various studies related to Marburg virus infection. From these promising theories, the review tries to put forward the importance of various study conclusions, which are likely to have a major impact on the health sector in the near future.

Keywords: Marburg virus; RNA virus; clinical trials; manifestations; pathogenesis; treatment; vaccine.
