The deadly Marburg virus has surfaced this week for the first time in Equatorial Guinea and Cameroon. The World Health Organization confirmed at least one death in Equatorial Guinea in West Africa and neighboring Cameroon said two suspected cases were detected, according to Reuters.

A handful of Marburg cases were identified in Ghana late last year. Although it remains “a very rare disease in people,” according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “when it occurs, it has the potential to spread” and can be fatal.
