The Marburg situation is truly frightening. I read that even one bead of sweat from a victim can transmit the disease. From the clusters of deaths occurring, I am wondering if there are other vectors we are not yet aware of (e.g. biting insects?)

Bats are still a suspect, but quite frankly from what I have read, they just don't know.
