Overview
Common risk factors in the development of Marburg hemorrhagic fever include close contact with African fruit bats, human patients, or non-human primates infected with Marburg virus. Less common risk factors in the development of Marburg hemorrhagic fever include occupations (people who handle non-human primates from Africa) and travellers to endemic areas.
