Marburg Update

Agence France-Presse reports the latest Marburg numbers: 235 dead out of 257 known cases.
An additional 513 people are under surveillance, it added.
WHO experts said last week that there was no end in sight for the epidemic, the worst outbreak ever of the virus first detected in 1967 when German laboratory workers in Marburg were infected by monkeys from Uganda.
