- Marburg virus is the causative agent of Marburg haemorrhagic fever (MHF). Marburg and Ebola viruses are the two members of the Filoviridae family (filovirus). Though caused by different viruses, the two diseases are clinically similar.
- The viral structure is typical of filoviruses, with long threadlike particles which have a consistent diameter but vary greatly in length from an average of 800 nanometers up to 14,000 nm. Peak infectious activity is at approximately 790 nm.
- Virions contain seven known structural proteins. Four proteins form the nucelocapsid of the Marburg virus: NP, VP35, VP30, and L.[2] While nearly identical to Ebola virus in structure, Marburg virus is antigenically distinct from Ebola virus.
- Marburg virus was the first filovirus to be identified.
Transmission
- Initial human infection results from prolonged exposure to mines or caves inhabited by Rousettus bat colonies. The reservoir host of Marburg virus is the African fruit bat, Rousettus aegyptiacus. Marburg virus can infect primates (including humans) and may cause serious disease with high mortality.[3][4]
- After the Marburg virus initially transfers from animal host to human, mode of transmission is usually human-to-human and results from direct contact with bodily fluids of infected persons(blood, secretions) other contact fomites contaminated with infectious blood and tissues.[5]
- Transmission to health-care workers has been reported while treating Marburg patients, mainly due to incorrect or inadequate use of personal protective equipment.
Pathogenesis
Pathogenesis of hemorrhagic fever by Marburg virus is as follows:
- Marburg virus primarily infects macrophages and dendritic cells.[6]
- Infection of dendritic cells leads to paralysis of cellular antiviral response and dysregulation of costimulation of lymphocytes.
- Infection of macrophage leads to the production of proinflammatory mediators including TNF-α, IL-6 and tissue factor.
- TNF-α induce apoptosis in lymphocyte and results in lymphopenia and immunosuppression.
- IL-6 and TNF-α also induces increase in vascular permeability.
- Tissue factor produced by infected macrophages leads to dysregulation of coagulation (e.g., DIC).
- Hepatocyte infection further reinforces coagulation dysregulation due to ineffective production of clotting factors.
- Adrenal cortical cells infection results in hypotension and metabolic disorders.
- Hypotension, metabolic disorders, immunosuppression and coagulopathy contribute to multiorgan failure and shock.
