While some types of hemorrhagic fever viruses can cause relatively mild illnesses, many of these viruses cause severe, life-threatening disease. VHFs are caused by a variety of viruses from four distinct families: arenaviruses (Lassa fever and South American hemorrhagic fever viruses), filoviruses (Ebola and Marburg viruses), bunyaviruses (Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, Rift Valley fever, and hantaviruses), and flaviviruses (yellow fever, tick-bone encephalitis, Kyasanur Forest, and dengue and Omsk hemorrhagic fever viruses).

Consumer/General Public Livestock/Row Crop Producer Consumer and Producer Back Farm and Home Biosecurity Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers: Questions and Answers What are viral hemorrhagic fevers? The term viral hemorrhagic fever (VHF) refers to a group of illnesses that are caused by several distinct families of viruses. While some types of hemorrhagic fever viruses can cause relatively mild illnesses, many of these viruses cause severe, life-threatening disease. How are hemorrhagic fever viruses grouped? VHFs are caused by viruses of four distinct families: arenaviruses, filoviruses, bunyaviruses, and flaviviruses. Each of these families share a number of features: • They are all RNA viruses, and all are covered, or enveloped, in a fatty (lipid) coating. • Their survival is dependent on an animal or insect host, called the natural reservoir. • The viruses are geographically restricted to the areas where their host species live. • Humans are not the natural reservoir for any of these viruses. Humans are infected when they come into contact with infected hosts. However, with some viruses, after the accidental transmission from the host, humans can transmit the virus to one another. • Human cases or outbreaks of hemorrhagic fevers caused by these viruses occur sporadically and irregularly. The occurrence of outbreaks cannot be easily predicted.

hemorrhagic fever Chapter: 9a A hemorrhagic fever is a viral infection that causes high fever and profuse bleeding. The bleeding is largely due to disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) . Several tropical fevers meet this general definition, including: Hantaan virus (Korean Hemorrhagic Fever), Lassa fever, Marburg fever, and, most recently, Ebola fever. Treatment for hemorrhagic fever is supportive only, although antisera is sometimes given, if available. All of these diseases are examples of Emerging Infection s References Garrett, Laurie. The Coming Plague. Random House, 1995. A scholarly account of emerging diseases, including HIV and drug-resistant tuberculosis. Well worth reading, but long. The Hot Zone. 1995, Random House.

Ebola hemorrhagic fever (Ebola HF) is a severe, often-fatal disease in humans and nonhuman primates (monkeys and chimpanzees) that has appeared sporadically since its initial recognition in 1976. The disease is caused by infection with Ebola virus, named after a river in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (formerly Zaire) in Africa, where it was first recognized. The virus is one of two members of a family of RNA viruses called the Filoviridae. Three of the four species of Ebola virus identified so far have caused disease in humans: Ebola-Zaire, Ebola-Sudan, and Ebola-Ivory Coast. The fourth, Ebola-Reston, has caused disease in nonhuman primates, but not in humans. Where is Ebola virus found in nature?

Topics A-Z Reference Center Search Disease Fact Sheet Series: Viral Hemorrhagic Fever (Ebola Virus Hemorrhagic Fever, Marburg Virus Hemorrhagic Fever) What is viral hemorrhagic fever? Viral hemorrhagic fever is the collective name given to the diseases caused by a group of viruses such as Ebola virus and Marburg virus. The Ebola virus was named for the river in Zaire where it was discovered. Marburg virus was named for the city in Germany where the disease was first diagnosed. Viral hemorrhagic fever begins with fever and muscle aches and can result in a relatively mild illness or can lead to death. Where do these viruses come from? Although the source of these viruses in nature is unknown, this group of viruses can occasionally be found in rodents, ticks, and mosquitoes within endemic areas. Monkeys and humans are also susceptible and may become a source of virus if they become infected. Tissues of infected primates can also serve as a source of infection to staff in laboratories or in import and quarantine facilities that handle primates. How common are Ebola and Marburg viruses?

The protozoan cause of malaria was discovered by a French army doctor, Charles Louis Alphonse Laveran, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1907.

In biology, a genus (plural genera ) is a grouping in the classification of living organisms having one or more related and morphologically similar species. In the common binomial nomenclature, the name of an organism is composed of two parts: its genus (always capitalized) and a species modifier. An example is Homo sapiens , the name for the human species which belongs to the genus Homo. See scientific classification for more details of this system.

Ebola haemorrhagic fever (EHF) is one of the most virulent viral diseases known to humankind, causing death in 50-90% of all clinically ill cases. Several different species of Ebola virus have been identified. The Ebola virus is transmitted by direct contact with the blood, body fluids and tissues of infected persons.Transmission of the Ebola virus has also occurred by handling ill or dead infected chimpanzees.
