Ebola and Marburg Viruses: A Comparative Overview

Ebola virus and Marburg virus are closely related members of the Filoviridae family responsible for severe, often fatal viral hemorrhagic fevers in humans and non-human primates. While both pathogens share characteristic filamentous structures, transmission dynamics via fruit bat reservoirs, and high case-fatality rates (averaging ~50%), they differ in their genetic lineages, historical outbreak patterns, and available medical interventions.
