The first people infected had been exposed to imported African green monkeys or their tissues while conducting research.

The structure of the marburg virus is almost identical to that of the Ebola virus. This is because they both come from the Filoviridae family.

As of right now, how the virus transmits from the bat to the human is unknown. However, there were two cases of tourists catching the virus in Uganda. It was most likely that contact with infected bat feces or aerosols led to the infection. After transmission from Bat to Human, transmission can now happen from person to person contact.
