The unexpected Ebola virus outbreak in West Africa in 2014 involving the Zaire ebolavirus made clear that other regions outside Central Africa, its previously documented niche, were at risk of future epidemics. The complex transmission cycle and a lack of epidemiological data make mapping areas at risk of the disease challenging.

Marburg Virus Disease Outbreaks – A Systematic Review
Background: Marburg virus disease (MARV) is a highly virulent disease that presents a significant threat to public health. First identified in 1967, MARV has since manifested sporadically across various regions, with varying consequences. This systematic review aims to collate and analyze epidemiological data to understand the impact of MARV globally ...
