		The Marburg virus was named after the German town where it was first identified in 1967, when monkeys imported from Uganda infected laboratory workers.
		Marburg is a relative of Ebola (both viruses are in the Filovirus family), and Marburg is believed to primarily inhabit countries in East and Central Africa.
		But some scientists suggest that the lethality of the virus may be due to the overreaction of the innate human immune system—our first line of defense—rather than the virus itself.
