Picture of a doctor wearing a protective gown, facial mask protection, outer foot-wear, and latex gloves, this staff member of the Infectious Disease Hospital in Johannesburg, South Africa, placed protective goggles over his eyes in order to control Marburg virion transmission. (Slide 5 of 6; PHIL ID #’s 6600 - 6605) This Johannesburg, South African staff member, who assisted in treating the patients of the 1975 Rhodesian (now Zimbabwean) Marburg fever outbreak, had to maintain levels of extreme caution before coming into close contact with infectious disease patients able to transmit pathogenic contagion, which in this case were the Marburg virions. This image was created in 1975 and provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention/Dr. J. Lyle Conrad. [0004-0702-2123-1435] by 0004
