From Mount Elgon in Kitum Cave, a virus first appears in Mr.Monet. Mr. Monet then goes to a hospital and exposes Dr.Musoke to the deadly disease. The virus is revealed to be Marburg by Dr.Silverstein, who sent samples to be examined at a research lab for special diseases.
Marburg first appeared in an old city, in central Germany. Its first appearance was from a factory who shipped green monkeys to a different places that make vaccines from the kidney cells. The source of the virus was then traced to Uganda. The boss of the vaccine company was sending all the sick monkeys to an island near lake Victoria, instead of following the rules and putting them down. The island became a place where disease could jump and mutate …show more content…
All the people who handle or had any contact with the blood of the two patients, were quarantine. After a while, Dr.Musoke got better and somehow made it through. The samples of blood containing the Marburg the virus were given to the many laboratories around the world for future reasons, to help I.D. and make other researches on it.
1983- September 25-26
Ebola was named after the Ebola river.The first know emergence of Ebola Zaire, the hottest type of the virus strain, was on September 1976. It erupted and had spread to 55 villages near the river. It killed 9 out of 10 people and one of the hunters of it was Eugene Johnson. No one knew where the filoviruses came from. Mr.Johnson/Genes main job at the Institute was to find a drug to cure the virus that he would put in monkeys. The person that will be helping Mr.Gene with the research would be Nancy Jaax.
Major Nancy Jaax was married to Major General Jaax and they have two kids. One day, Nancy tries to open a can with butcher knife but cuts herself in the process and puts a band aid over the wound. She worked with the army, training at The United States Army Medical research Institute of Infectious Diseases or USAMRIID, as a veterinary pathology in Biosafety level 4, being the highest level in the virus world. She had to wear a spacesuit and other required gear for the dangerous …show more content…
When she is in the lab, she helps Mr.Gene with handing tools and helping with other things like doing a autopsies of aoe ofthe died monkeys. During that time, she see a hole in the space suit and her hands felt the cold temperature of the monkey blood. She then runs out and decontaminates her suit with a long shower and enters the other staging room. She then removes two out of the three layers of protection, she sees the her last layer was not broke. The report that was later written said she was not exposed to the virus. Later after that event, one of the healthy monkeys in the same room as the sick monkeys, got sick and showed that the Ebola virus strain was air
