The book started by telling the story of Charles Monet, a worker in a sugar factory that lived in Africa near Mount Elgon. He contracted the Marburg virus and died. It's believed that he may have somehow gotten in contact with the virus when he was in a cave called Kitum cave on Mount Elgon-but no one seems to be certain.

Monet visited Kitum cave (which is a petrified forest) on New Year's Day in 1980. He got a headache the seventh day after he visited the cave. Then he got a severe backache. The third day after his headache started, he began to vomit-eventually got the dry heaves. Over the course of the next several days he got progressively more ill and his personality changed. He became resentful, sullen, and didn't always remember where he was. By the time he went to the local hospital, his head was turning black and blue. The local hospital didn't know how to treat hi

All the monkeys at the monkey house in Virginia were eventually destroyed because no one was able to stop the virus and since there is no known cure for Ebola and no vaccine to prevent it. As of the writing of the book, the building where the infected monkeys lived was vacant and abandoned.

I recommend this book to adult readers who are able to stomach graphic descriptions of some pretty horrifying events. The story it tells is one the people should be aware of. They should know about the dangers lurking on this planet.

This book was so scary because everything described in this book really happened. When I think about what could happened to humans if one of the deadly viruses was able to amplify itself in humans, I get the shivers. Experts believe that the viruses are dormant somewhere in Africa, and maybe other places too, just waiting to find a host to amplify itself in-a host that could be human.

Charles Monet became very ill on the plane ride. By the time he got to Nairobi, his face muscles were drooping because the connective tissue in his face was dissolving. The Marburg virus was basically eating him alive. When Monet got to the Nairobi Hospital, he was not even treated right away. He had to sit in the waiting room, where he eventually went into shock.

m so they told him to get on a plane and go to the hospital in Nairobi hospital, which he did.

Nancy Jaax was one of those people. She was a veterinary pathologist with the military. She worked with the deadly Ebola viruses, handling the hot agents and doing autopsies on monkeys that had been infected with it. During the time that Nancy was right in the middle of dealing with the fact that her father was dying. Instead of going to see her dying father, even after he called her asking her to come see him, she thought it was more important to work on the monkeys-monkeys who were already dead. It's sad that she thought no one else could handle her job for a few days while she paid a last visit to her dad. I don't think she understood how important human relationships are.

Marburg is a virus that is in a family of viruses called filovirus. The Ebola viruses are also filovirus, but with the exception of Ebola Reston virus (w
