 LUANDA, Angola (AP) - Disease experts struggling to contain the largest recorded outbreak of the Marburg virus said Tuesday it will take weeks to determine whether a long-term crisis can be averted in Angola, where the disease already has killed at least 194 people.
The experts say they are recruiting tribal elders and musicians to help educate villagers who are hiding infected family members and have attacked aid groups sent to check the virus' spread in this southwest African nation.
The World Health Organization, which already has 50 experts in the field helping local authorities, is bolstering its team by flying in more specialists.
