Area of Science:

  • Virology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Emerging viruses are newly discovered or increasing in incidence.
  • Examples include Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) causing a global pandemic.
  • New hantaviruses in the Americas cause acute respiratory disease.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the significance of emerging and reemerging viral threats.
  • To discuss advancements in identifying and understanding novel viruses.
  • To underscore the public health implications of viral emergence.

Main Methods:

  • Review of scientific literature on viral emergence.
  • Case studies of significant emerging viruses (e.g., HIV, hantaviruses).
  • Discussion of etiological links between viruses and diseases (e.g., HHV-8 and Kaposi's sarcoma).

Main Results:

  • HIV is a prime example of a novel virus causing a major pandemic.
  • New hantaviruses identified in the Americas.
  • Bovine spongiform encephalopathy agent linked to variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
  • Role of a new flavivirus in hepatitis remains unconfirmed.
  • Dengue virus represents a reemerging pathogen with significant mortality.

Conclusions:

  • Continuous surveillance and research are vital for managing emerging viral diseases.
  • Both novel and reemerging viruses present ongoing challenges to global health.
  • Understanding viral pathogenesis and transmission is key to prevention and control.
