Chapter 19: Viruses
... What was some early evidence of the existence of viruses? Why were they difficult to study? In 1883, Adolf Mayer discovered that he could transmit tobacco mosaic disease from plant to plant by rubbing sap extracted from diseased leaves into healthy plants. Viruses were difficult to study because of ...

Marburg virus disease
Marburg virus disease (MVD; formerly Marburg hemorrhagic fever) is a severe illness of humans and non-human primates caused by either of the two marburgviruses, Marburg virus (MARV) and Ravn virus (RAVV). MVD is a viral hemorrhagic fever (VHF), and the clinical symptoms are indistinguishable from Ebola virus disease (EVD).
