Equatorial Guinea Failing to Report Marburg Cases, Says WHO.
The Marburg outbreak in Equatorial Guinea continues to grow, with confirmed cases that the country has not yet reported, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). The government has been slow to release updates, and the WHO expressed fears there may be undetected chains of transmission. Marburg virus disease is caused by a filovirus, which is the family to which Ebola viruses belong. Countries are required to report cases of dangerous diseases that could trigger international outbreaks to the WHO under the International Health Regulations.
