The 1967 Marburg virus disease outbreak was the first recorded outbreak of Marburg virus disease.[1] It started in early August 1967 when 30 people became ill in the West German towns of Marburg and Frankfurt and later two in Belgrade, Yugoslavia (now Serbia).[2] The infections were traced back to three laboratories in the separate locations which received a shared shipment of infected African green monkeys.[3] The outbreak involved 25 primary Marburg virus infections and seven deaths, and six non-lethal secondary cases.[2]
