Marburg virus has killed five people in Tanzania's north-western Kagera region, the health ministry has said.
High fever is a common symptom of the deadly Ebola-like virus, often followed by bleeding and organ failure.

Three people are being treated in hospital and authorities are tracing 161 contacts, Ms Mwalimu added.
Tanzania's strategy to control the spread was praised by the World Health Organization (WHO).
