    This document summarizes and compares characteristics of different Ebola and Marburg virus strains. Marburg virus causes nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and a raised rash, with a fatality rate between 24-88%. Ebola Sudan causes capillary leakage, vascular collapse and coma, with over 50% mortality. Ebola Zaire is the most virulent Ebola subtype, causing bleeding, organ swelling and interstitial pneumonia, usually resulting in death. Ebola Reston has infected humans without causing disease.
