Since the discovery of Marburg virus 50 years ago, filoviruses have reemerged in the human population more than 40 times. Already the first episode was as dramatic as most of the subsequent ones, but none of them was as devastating as the West-African Ebola virus outbreak in 2013-2015. Although progress toward a better understanding of the viruses is impressive, there is clearly a need to improve and strengthen the measures to detect and control these deadly infections.
自50年前发现马尔堡病毒以来，丝状病毒已在人类群体中再度出现40多次。首次出现的情况就像随后的大多数情况一样引人注目，但没有一次像2013 - 2015年西非埃博拉病毒爆发那样具有毁灭性。尽管在更好地了解这些病毒方面取得的进展令人印象深刻，但显然有必要改进和加强检测及控制这些致命感染的措施。
