Here's another note from Congo Kinshasa:

So far, the international efforts made to control the outbreak at least seem to have prevented the Marburg virus to cross borders into neighbouring countries. Health Minister Daniel Movando of Congo Kinshasa, which borders Angola's Uige province, yesterday said that there were no cases in is country. "Our research in two suspected cases of Marburg virus in the border town of Matadi show that no cases have been confirmed," said Dr Movando.

The article I took this from is dated April 5. Does anyone remember hearing anything more from Kinshasa?

I'm betting that the border towns have a couple of cases now...

This line got to me: "If we succeed in managing all the cases and the funerals, we'll start reducing the risk of transmission," he told IRIN.

And this is from the WHO guy.
