Main Article

Figure 3

Chain of transmission of Marburg virus disease cases, by date of symptom onset and district, Equatorial Guinea, December 2022–April 2023. Where date of symptom onset was unavailable (1 case), estimated date of sample collection was used. Cases are labeled by sex and age in years. Solid black lines indicate known contact links suspected to be associated with transmission events. A degree of uncertainty is associated with some links shown. In the context of epidemiologically linked clusters with numerous contact links, infector–infectee pairs could not be determined in some cases. Boxes around cases indicate groups of cases with known epidemiologic links (i.e., clusters).
