👉 Malawi fluid, also known as Malawian hemorrhagic fever virus (MHFV), is a rare and often fatal viral disease primarily affecting humans in Malawi, a country in southeastern Africa. It is caused by the Mavicavirus genus within the family Bunyaviridae. The virus is transmitted through contact with the bodily fluids of infected animals, such as rodents, or by direct contact with infected bodily fluids. Symptoms include high fever, severe headache, muscle pain, and in severe cases, internal bleeding and organ failure. Due to its rarity and the limited medical resources in affected areas, Malawi fluid poses a significant public health challenge, requiring prompt diagnosis and supportive care to manage symptoms and prevent complications.
