Editing Marburg virus disease (section)

== Transmission ==
The details of the initial transmission of MVD to humans remain incompletely understood. Transmission most likely occurs from [[Egyptian fruit bat]]s or another natural host, such as [[non-human primate]]s or through the consumption of [[bushmeat]], but the specific routes and body fluids involved are unknown. Human-to-human transmission of MVD occurs through direct contact with infected bodily fluids such as blood.<ref name="Kortepeter2020" /> Transmission events are relatively rare – there have been only 11 recorded outbreaks of MARV between 1975 and 2011, with one event involving both MARV and RAVV.<ref>{{Citation |last=von Csefalvay |first=Chris |title=Host-vector and multihost systems |date=2023 |work=Computational Modeling of Infectious Disease |pages=121–149 |url=https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/B978032395389400013X |access-date=2023-03-05 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230418221153/https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/B978032395389400013X?via%3Dihub |archive-date=2023-04-18 |url-status=live |publisher=Elsevier |language=en |doi=10.1016/b978-0-32-395389-4.00013-x |isbn=978-0-323-95389-4}}</ref>
