    Area of Science:

    • Epidemiology
    • Virology
    • Public Health

    Context:

    • Two significant outbreaks of viral hemorrhagic fever occurred in Sudan and Zaire in 1976.
    • These outbreaks were caused by an unidentified Marburg-like virus.
    • Initial control efforts by local health personnel resulted in casualties.

    Purpose:

    • To review the epidemiological investigations and control measures implemented during the 1976 Sudan and Zaire outbreaks.
    • To share experiences and make recommendations for managing future suspected viral hemorrhagic fever (VHF) outbreaks.
    • To disseminate valuable information to global health administrations.

    Summary:

    • The outbreaks involved a Marburg-like virus, necessitating emergency control measures.
    • WHO provided assistance, leading to a consultation at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine in January 1977.
    • The consultation aimed to consolidate lessons learned and formulate applicable recommendations.

    Impact:

    • Provided critical insights into the management of viral hemorrhagic fever outbreaks.
    • Highlighted the importance of international collaboration and WHO's role in global health emergencies.
    • Established a foundation for improved preparedness and response strategies for VHF events worldwide.
