    Area of Science:

    • Virology
    • Public Health
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Since 1967, several exotic viral diseases including Marburg virus disease, Lassa fever, monkeypox, and Ebola virus diseases have been identified.
    • These zoonotic viral diseases pose significant public health challenges due to potential importation and spread.
    • High-risk pathogens necessitate stringent safety protocols for laboratory and healthcare personnel.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the general characteristics of exotic viruses.
    • To summarize the epidemiology of these emerging viral threats.
    • To outline the laboratory diagnostic methods for these hazardous viruses.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of scientific publications.
    • Analysis of epidemiological data.
