Original: McMaster researchers trace fatal Marburg virus outbreak in Ethiopia to animal spillover event

Researchers at McMaster University have traced the fatal Marburg virus outbreak in Ethiopia to a spillover event from animals to humans. The finding sheds light on how the deadly hemorrhagic fever emerged and could inform efforts to contain the outbreak and prevent future animal-to-human transmission of the virus, which has no approved vaccine or treatment.

Why now: Marburg is a highly lethal virus with pandemic potential, and identifying its animal origin raises concern about further outbreaks
