Marburg virus is infectious enough, if you accidentally release a huge quantity from the CSL Behring labs in Marburg and Frankfurt Germany and Belgrade Yugoslavia.

Unprotected sanitation workers were exposed to monkey body parts who died from Marburg virus in the 1960s. It's what Marburg virus its name. Thirty one became infected and seven died.

sciencedaily.com

Most of the anticipated growth is in Africa, where population is projected to quadruple from around 1 billion today to 4 billion by the end of the century. The main reason is that birth rates in sub-Saharan Africa have not been going down as fast as had been expected. There is an 80 percent chance that the population in Africa at the end of the century will be between 3.5 billion and 5.1 billion people.
