Angola: Marburg outbreak not under control

As the death toll from the Marburg virus in Angola creeps up to the 300 mark, the World Health Organisation (WHO) has expressed concern at the current situation and is warning that the outbreak is not yet over. Uige-based WHO spokesperson Aphaluck Bhatiasevi told IRIN on Monday that some recently-identified cases of the killer disease had not been linked to earlier cases, raising fears that the epidemic was not yet under control since it first appeared in October 2004.
