Ebola returns to Europe
Marburg, a deadly haemorrhagic fever closely related to Ebola, is back in Europe, after a four-decade absence. On Friday, 11 July, a 40-year old Dutch woman died in a quarantined ward of a hospital in Leiden, the Netherlands, less than two weeks after she returned from Uganda
She had visited caves where she may have contracted the virus on 16 and 19 June, but she developed a fever and chills -- early symptoms of Marburg -- only after her return, on 2 July.
