Another recent outbreak of Marburg virus is causing concern. Currently no antiviral treatment is available for Marburg virus. The death rate is as high as 80%.

Marburg virus is a Filovirus. "The Filoviridae consists of 2 genera: Ebolavirus (consisting of 5 species) and Marburgvirus (consisting of 2 species). The specific vectors of these viruses have not been confirmed, but fruit bats are the prime candidates; thus, Filoviridae are not arboviruses. Human-to-human transmission of Ebola virus and Marburg virus occurs readily."

Brilacidin may have activity against Filoviruses: "...earlier NIH/NIAID-affiliated research of Brilacidin in other acutely infectious virus families, including coronaviruses, alphaviruses, flaviviruses, and filoviruses, with a corresponding scientific paper being prepared for publication."
