An extremely deadly disease is feared to be spreading in Africa after Cameroon said it had detected two suspected cases of Marburg virus.
A 16-year-old boy and girl from the commune of Olamze, about two miles from the border, showed signs of the disease which has symptoms including blood-stained vomit and bleeding from the eyes.
Neither had recently traveled to Equatorial Guinea, which is in the grips of an outbreak that has already killed nine people. There are 16 suspected cases in the country so far.
The World Health Organization (WHO) today convened an urgent meeting over the cases, calling in experts from around the world to discuss how to contain the disease.
There are growing fears that the world could be caught off guard by the currently untreatable infection that kills up to 88 percent of the people it infects.
