Description: This photograph of Dr. M. Isaacson and a sanitarian, was taken during a Rhodesian, now Zimbabwean Marburg epidemiologic investigation that occurred after the 1975 South African Marburg outbreak.
Two hitchhikers, who later would be hospitalized with Marburg fever, sat near this Rhodesian roadside where the male traveler (Case #1), was either bitten, or stung by an unknown vector. Health investigators trapped and tested animals and insects in this area, but all tests came back negative for the Marburg virus, and no such vector was ever identified as being responsible for initiating this outbreak.
