Measurements of concentrations of Marburg virus in guinea pig saliva, urine, and feces showed that as early as by the end of incubation period the virus concentrations in the feces and saliva were 2.3-3.3 lg LD50. In the blood the content of the virus was high and increased by the end of the disease, while the concentrations in the urine, saliva, and feces were virtually the same throughout the disease.
