Health experts in three African countries, including Kenya, Congo-Brazzaville, and the Democratic Republic of Congo have issued health alerts as the reported cases of Marburg virus continues to rise in neighboring Angola. In Kenya, a screening process has been set up at airports in Nairobi and Mombasa to check people traveling to Kenya from Angola. Four more people died on Tuesday, increasing the death toll to 130.

Kenyan health officials have also issued an alert to all hospitals and clinics, while the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has gone to a state of high alert. Congo has also set up a screening process at their borders with DRC.

At the same time, a top ranking Angolan health official is highly critical of the government, claiming that they are getting no support in the northern regions where the disease has hit the hardest.

Quiala Godi said, 'We have reached the peak of the Marburg epidemic. What worries me is the lack of support from the government. We haven't received a single government team here in Uige.'

The outbreak has prompted the hospital to close and no emergency aid or personnel has been dispatched from Luanda, the capital of Angola. At present, the World Health Organization and Doctors Without Borders have sent assistance to this region.

However, Vita Mvemba, the country's health director has asked for outside assistance and cites the lack of medical professionals in the country.

Marburg, which bears a resemblance to Ebola, was first detected in October but cases have begin to rise in the past month. Originally, the outbreak seemed to affect more children, but adults are beginning to become infected in the latest outbreak.
