Kenya is among the high-risk countries put on alert by the World Health Organization after an outbreak of Marburg virus disease in West Africa.
Marburg, in the same family with Ebola, is a highly infectious and often fatal hemorrhagic fever.
So far it has killed two people in Ghana who are said to be unrelated. Contacts are being traced and about 100 people, relaties and caregivers, have been isolated.
The disease is transmitted to people from contact with fruit bats and their faeces. For example, male mine workers in bat-infested mines were infected.
