00:17 The fourth wave is well present in France, while the health pass has been extended since
00:22 August 9.
00:23 While Covid-19 is still spreading, another virus is worrying.
00:27 In Guinea, a dangerous virus has made its big comeback, the marble virus.
00:32 Do you know the marble virus?
00:35 In Guinea, a first case of the marble virus has been detected.
00:40 A news that will not please the different government authorities around the world.
00:45 While the Covid-19 pandemic continues to spread, this virus is considered very dangerous by
00:51 health authorities.
00:52 However, the marble virus is not new.
00:55 In 1967, several cases were detected with symptoms dangerous to humans.
01:02 The World Health Organization is on the ground with local partners since the appearance
01:07 of the first alerts and will continue to provide all the necessary support, indicated Tedro
01:11 Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the General Director of the WHO.
01:15 The World Health Organization recalls in particular that the virus, identified for the first time
01:20 in 1967, occurred during various laboratory work on African green monkeys imported
01:25 from Uganda, as reported by BFMTV.
01:28 Is it more contagious than Covid-19?
01:31 Although very dangerous to human health, the marble virus is no more contagious if
01:37 compared to Covid-19.
01:38 It remains no less transmissible and the consequences are disastrous.
01:42 Since 1967, contamination cases have been monitored by health authorities.
01:48 If we compare it to Ebola, however, the marble virus belongs to the pathogen agent of class
01:54 4, thus signifying that it has a very high mortality rate and that there is no remedy
01:59 to protect itself, as the Pasteur Institute explains.
02:01 The two diseases, Ebola and marble, are similar on the clinical level.
02:06 They are both rare and have the ability to cause epidemic outbreaks with a high
02:11 rate of lethality, explains the WHO in a report.
02:15 With a single case detected in Guinea, it is too early to worry.
