三種致命病毒在 17 個國家迅速傳播，導致數千人感染、數十人死亡，引發了全球健康警報。

The Marburg virus, also known as the 'bleeding eyes' virus, has claimed 15 lives in Rwanda, where hundreds are feared to be infected with the deadly disease. The virus, which has a 50% fatality rate, is now threatening to spread to other African nations already battling other outbreaks.

馬爾堡病毒，也被稱為「流血」病毒，已在盧安達奪走了 15 人的生命，預計當地有數百人感染了這種致命疾病。這種病毒的致死率高達 50%，現在有可能傳播到其他已經在與其他疫情抗爭的非洲國家。

The Mpox clade one virus has also been detected in seven African countries - Burundi, Central African Republic, Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Gabon, Kenya, and Uganda.

布隆迪、中非共和國、剛果、剛果民主共和國、加彭、肯亞和烏幹達等七個非洲國家也發現了 Mpox clade 1 病毒。

Meanwhile, the Oropouche virus is being spread by midge bites in several South American countries and a Caribbean state. Over 10,000 people in Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guyana, Panama, and Peru have been infected this year, with a small number of fatalities reported.

同時，奧羅普切病毒正在幾個南美國家和加勒比海國家透過蠓叮咬傳播。今年，巴西、玻利維亞、哥倫比亞、古巴、多明尼加共和國、厄瓜多、圭亞那、巴拿馬和秘魯已有超過10,000人感染，據報道有少量死亡。

According to The Mirror, Marburg can be spread through contact with broken skin, blood, secretions, bodily fluids, and mucous membranes in the eyes, nose, or mouth of infected people. Symptoms include fever, severe headaches, muscle aches, and severe watery diarrhea. From the fifth day, symptoms may include fresh blood in vomit and feces, bleeding from the nose, gums, vagina, eyes, mouth, and ears, internal bleeding, confusion, irritability, aggression, or inflammation of the testicles.

The Mpox virus, on the other hand, is spread through close sexual and non-sexual contact. Symptoms might not appear until up to 21 days after being infected. The most obvious and common symptom is a rash that can last for a month. Other symptoms include a high temperature, headache, muscle aches, backache, swollen glands, shivering, exhaustion, and joint pain.
