Even though scientists are working on a variety of vaccines that would protect people from Ebola or Marburg viruses. Some of the results have been promising, but further testing is needed. Here are preventive measures against Ebola and Maburg.

1. Avoid traveling to areas of known outbreaks: Before traveling to Africa, find out about any current epidemics by checking the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website.

2. Wash your hands frequently: As with other infectious diseases, one of the most important preventive measures for Ebola virus and Marburg virus is frequent hand-washing. Use soap and water, or use alcohol-based hand rubs containing at least 60 percent alcohol when soap and water aren't available.

3. Avoid contact with infected people: In particular, caregivers should avoid contact with the person's body fluids and tissues, including blood, semen, vaginal secretions and saliva. People with Ebola or Marburg are most contagious in the later stages of the disease.

4. Avoid bush meats: In developing countries, wild animals, including nonhuman primates, are sold in local markets. Avoid buying or eating any of these animals.

5. Follow infection-control procedures: If you're a health care worker, wear protective clothing — such as gloves, masks, gowns and eye shields. Keep infected people isolated from others. Carefully disinfect and dispose of needles and other instruments. Injection needles and syringes should not be reused.

6. Don't handle remains: The bodies of people who have died of Ebola or Marburg disease are still contagious. Specially organized and trained teams should bury the remains, using appropriate safety equipment.
