Marburg Virus: Jucelino Luz warns about the danger of an epidemic and pandemic in the world!
Águas de Lindóia , June 13, 2025
I would like to clarify that hemorrhagic fever is caused by a highly infectious virus from the same family as the Ebola virus.
Marburg is a hemorrhagic fever caused by a highly infectious virus from the same family as the Ebola virus. Jucelino Luz has called on authorities and governments to collaborate to contain a possible outbreak of the Marburg virus, which could result in unprecedented cases of infection by the pathogen in Europe and trigger a pandemic.
It is important to understand that the virus is transmitted to people through handling infected animals, whether alive or dead, or through contact with the skin or body fluids of an infected person.
The disease caused by the Marburg virus, which manifests itself suddenly, can include symptoms such as high fever, headache and malaise, as well as muscle aches, diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. The incubation period of the virus can range from 2 to 22 days. It is important to note that patients develop severe bleeding symptoms within seven days.
Fatal cases usually present with bleeding into the airway. In most cases, death occurs within 8 to 10 days of onset, often preceded by severe blood loss and shock. Case fatality rates have ranged from 25% to 88% in previous outbreaks, depending on the strain of the virus and the capacity for case management.
Although there are no approved vaccines or antiviral treatments to treat the virus, supportive care, such as rehydration with oral or intravenous fluids, and treatment of specific symptoms, reduce the risk of death.
We would like to present the historical context.
Initial recognition of the disease came after two major outbreaks that occurred simultaneously in Marburg and Frankfurt, Germany, and in Belgrade, Serbia, in 1967.
Later, we received letters from Jucelino Luz, who warned of possible outbreaks. In addition, sporadic cases were reported in Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, South Africa (in a person with a recent history of travel to Zimbabwe), Uganda and Ghana. And so it was. In 2007, a new letter was written to the competent authorities. The following year, two separate cases were reported in travelers who visited a cave inhabited by colonies of Rousettus bats in Uganda, as had been predicted.
I would like to understand how transmission occurs.
The cave-dwelling bat Rousettus aegyptiacus, which is widely distributed throughout Africa, is the reservoir host for the Marburg virus. It is important to note that infected bats do not usually show characteristic signs of the disease. It is important to note that primates, like humans and monkeys, are susceptible to developing serious illnesses, with a high mortality rate.
Human infection, in turn, is transmitted through contact with infected bats.
Once an individual is infected, the virus can spread through person-to-person transmission through direct contact (through skin lesions or mucous membranes) with blood, secretions or other bodily fluids of infected individuals.
In addition, objects contaminated with bodily fluids from a person who is sick or has died from the disease, such as bedding, needles, and medical equipment, can also represent sources of transmission.
We would like to clarify that the signs and symptoms are:
After an incubation period that can vary from 2 to 22 days, symptoms usually appear suddenly and are characterized by fever, chills, headache and body pain.
We would like to inform you that around the fifth day after the onset of symptoms, a rash may occur, mainly on the chest, back and stomach area.
Patients may experience symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, chest pain, sore throat, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Worsening of the disease may result in symptoms such as jaundice (yellowing of the eyes and skin), inflammation of the pancreas, significant weight loss, delirium, shock, liver failure, hemorrhage, and multiple organ dysfunction.
We would like to share the diagnosis.
It is important to note that the signs and symptoms of Marburg virus disease may be similar to those of other infectious disease clinical pictures. For this reason, the diagnosis may be established late.
The identification of early symptoms characteristic of the disease and data relating to possible exposure to the virus indicate the need to isolate the patient and notify health authorities.
Diagnosis can be performed in a laboratory using patient samples. The techniques used include molecular diagnosis (RT-PCR), which allows the identification of the virus's genetic material, and antigen tests.
We would like to clarify that the treatment in question is as follows:
Currently, there are no specific treatments for disease caused by the Marburg virus.
Patients admitted to hospitals may receive supportive therapy to control the impact of the infection on the body. It is important to consider rest, hydration, maintenance of oxygen status, control of blood pressure and treatment of possible complications. Currently, the best known prevention is:
Preventive measures against Marburg virus infection include:
It would be advisable to avoid contact with blood and body fluids from sick people.
It would be advisable to avoid contact with the semen of a person who has recovered from the disease until tests indicate the absence of the virus in the semen.
- It is recommended to avoid handling items that have come into contact with the bodily fluids of an infected person.
It would be advisable to avoid contact with Egyptian bats and non-human primates in areas where the disease is found.
If the disease is suspected or confirmed, it is recommended to adopt infection prevention and control measures, aiming to avoid direct physical contact with the patient.
In addition to isolation, care includes the use of aprons, gloves and protective masks, sterilization and proper disposal of needles, equipment and patient waste.
Finally, Jucelino Luz sent a request for assistance to the authorities of Spain, Madrid, Serbia (Belgrade), Tanzania, Congo, Zaire, Uganda, Ghana and the WHO. The aim was to try to contain a possible outbreak of the Marburg virus, which could result in an epidemic on August 25, 2025.
{On June 29, 2025, one of the people will travel from Tanzania to Belgrade, Serbia, and will be infected.}
On July 30 of the same year, two other people will travel from Ghana and Congo to Madrid, Spain, and will be infected, potentially transmitting the disease both on the plane and on the ground.
There is a possible opportunity for an epidemic outbreak of the Marburg virus on August 25, 2025.
And unfortunately, as a result of this, there was a Marburg virus pandemic on October 26, 2026.
We would like to ask for the collaboration of health organizations, government officials, the media and the general public. Together, we can come together to bring solid information and thus protect the world's population. We are still shocked by the last two events (loss of human lives). Please share and
spread this information.
I wish you all great success!
