Bundibugyo Virus

Bundibugyo Virus is a rare but serious virus that causes Ebola-like illness, primarily in humans. It is spread through contact with infected animals or people, leading to symptoms like fever, headache, muscle pain, and vomiting. The virus can cause severe bleeding and organ failure in some cases. It was first identified in Uganda and is part of the filovirus family. While outbreaks are uncommon, they require quick medical attention and strict infection control measures to prevent spread. Researchers continue to study the virus to develop effective treatments and vaccines.
