The Marburg haemorrhagic fever (HF) outbreak in Watsa, Democratic Republic of Congo 1998Congo -2000, was the first ofits kind documented to occur in the virus' natural environment. Participating in the international response efforts and conducting follow-up studies permitted me to gain epidemiological insights in a hitherto largely unknown disease. Participating in the response effort to the second major Marburg HF outbreak in Uige, Angola 2005, enabled me to culminate the experience by exploring opportunities on how to optimise the outbreak response in the hospital and in the community
