=== 1967 outbreak ===
{{main|1967 Marburg virus disease outbreak}}

MVD was first documented in 1967, when 31 people became ill in the [[Germany|German]] towns of [[Marburg]] and [[Frankfurt am Main]], and in [[Belgrade]], [[Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia|Yugoslavia]]. The outbreak involved 25 primary MARV infections and seven deaths, and six nonlethal secondary cases. The outbreak was traced to infected [[grivet]]s (species ''Chlorocebus aethiops'') imported from an undisclosed location in [[Uganda]] and used in developing [[poliomyelitis]] [[vaccines]]. The monkeys were received by Behringwerke, a Marburg company founded by the first winner of the [[Nobel Prize in Medicine]], [[Emil von Behring]]. The company, which at the time was owned by [[Hoechst AG|Hoechst]], was originally set up to develop [[blood plasma|sera]] against [[tetanus]] and [[diphtheria]]. Primary infections occurred in Behringwerke [[laboratory]] staff while working with grivet tissues or tissue cultures without adequate [[personal protective equipment]]. Secondary cases involved two [[physician]]s, a [[nurse]], a post-mortem attendant, and the wife of a [[veterinarian]]. All secondary cases had direct contact, usually involving blood, with a primary case. Both physicians became infected through accidental skin pricks when drawing blood from patients.<ref name="Kissling1968">{{Cite journal |last=Kissling |first=R. E. |last2=Robinson |first2=R.

=== 2004–2005 outbreak ===
In early 2005, the [[World Health Organization]] (WHO) began investigating an outbreak of [[viral hemorrhagic fever]] in [[Angola]], which was centered in the northeastern [[Uíge Province]] but also affected many other provinces. The Angolan government had to ask for international assistance, as there were only approximately 1,200 doctors in the entire country and provinces that had few as two. Health care workers also complained about a shortage of basic [[personal protective equipment]]. [[Médecins Sans Frontières]] (MSF) reported that when their team arrived at the provincial hospital at the center of the outbreak, they found it operating without water and electricity. [[Contact tracing]] was complicated by the fact that the country's roads and other infrastructure were devastated after nearly three decades of [[Angolan War of Independence|civil war]] and the countryside remained littered with [[land mine]]s.<ref name="Roddy2010" />

Americo Boa Vida Hospital in the Angolan capital, [[Luanda]], set up a special isolation ward to treat patients from the countryside. Due to the high fatality rate of MVD, some people came to be suspicious of and hostile towards hospitals and medical workers. For instance, a specially-equipped isolation ward at the provincial hospital in Uíge was reported to be empty during much of the epidemic, even though the facility was at the center of the outbreak. WHO was forced to implement what it described as a "harm reduction strategy" by distributing disinfectants to affected families who refused hospital care. Of the 252 people who contracted MVD, 227 died.<ref name="Roddy2010">{{Cite journal |last=Roddy |first=P. |last2=Thomas |first2=S.

=== 2007 cases ===
In 2007, four [[miner]]s became infected with marburgviruses in [[Kamwenge District]], [[Uganda]]. The first case, a 29-year-old man, became symptomatic on July 4, 2007, was admitted to a hospital on July 7, and died on July 13. Contact tracing revealed that the man had had prolonged close contact with two colleagues (a 22-year-old man and a 23-year-old man), who experienced clinical signs of infection before his disease onset. Both men had been admitted to hospitals in June and survived their infections, which were proven to be due to MARV. A fourth, 25-year-old man, developed MVD clinical signs in September and was shown to be infected with RAVV. He also survived the infection.<ref name=Towner2009/><ref name="Adjemian2011">{{Cite journal |last=Adjemian |first=J. |last2=Farnon |first2=E. C. |last3=Tschioko |first3=F. |last4=Wamala |first4=J.

In October 2017 an outbreak of Marburg virus disease was detected in [[Kween District]], Eastern Uganda. All three initial cases (belonging to one family – two brothers and one sister) had died by 3 November. The fourth case – a health care worker – developed symptoms on 4 November and was admitted to a hospital. The first confirmed case traveled to [[Kenya]] before the death.
