In November 2025, Ethiopia faced a historic first: a confirmed Marburg virus outbreak. As cases increased, CDC experts partnered with local health officials to strengthen laboratory testing, expand surveillance, and contain the virus before it could spread farther. CDC-trained disease detectives played a critical role in investigating cases, tracing contacts, and strengthening border measures at the airport. Six weeks later, the outbreak was over, 14 cases were confirmed and contained at the source, never reaching American shores. #CrisisToControl
