An Ebola-related disease with no known cure has been spotted in two African nations.
On Monday, the World Health Organization said Marburg disease has struck Equatorial Guinea, according to USA Today.
So far, nine people have died and 16 people are experiencing symptoms that include fever, fatigue, diarrhea and vomiting, according to the WHO.
According to Reuters, neighboring Cameroon has found two suspected cases in a community on the border with Equatorial Guinea, said Robert Mathurin Bidjang, the public health delegate for the region.
Similar to Ebola, the Marburg virus originates in bats and spreads among people who have close contact with the bodily fluids of infected people, USA Today reported.
