The deadly Marburg virus can make a patient's eyes bleed - and has a terrifying mortality rate of 88 per cent. Health officials in the UK say they are 'prepared' to respond to any confirmed cases

Travel Health Pro warned that while Marburg ‘is rare and very unusual in travellers, sporadic cases have been reported in travellers who spent prolonged periods in mines or caves inhabited by bat colonies’.

Officials are spooked by rising cases over a horror ‘eye bleeding' disease that has spread to more than 17 countries.

The three diseases that Brits have been warned about include Marburg virus disease, the Clade I strain of mpox and Oropouche virus disease. Here are all the countries affected

Brits travelling abroad have been issued a warning to “take extra precautions” when visiting 17 countries due to outbreaks of three potentially deadly viruses. Travel Health Pro, a website established by the then Department of Health, has set an alert for various locations that include areas of Africa, and South and Central America.
