=== 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.
