Viral hemorrhagic fevers have captured the imagination of the
public and made their way into popular books and movies by virtue
of their extreme virulence and mysterious origins. Since 2001,
concerns have grown about the potential use of many hemorrhagic
fever viruses as biological weapons. This has led to a resurgence
in research to develop improved diagnostics, vaccines, and
therapeutics-both for biodefense purposes and to treat naturally
exposed persons. Written by international experts, Viral
Hemorrhagic Fevers represents a major contribution to the
virological literature and updates the state of knowledge of these
dangerous illnesses. Topics include: A historical perspective and
information on pathogenesis and immune responses Animal models,
which are critical to the development of vaccines and therapeutics
The roles of high-containment facilities and specially trained
scientists in research Prevention and control, including
diagnostics and vaccine development Old World Lassa and Lujo
viruses and the New World Junin and Machupo viruses Guanarito
viruses and their cellular receptors Bunyaviruses, including Rift
Valley Fever, Crimean- Congo hemorrhagic fever, and hantaviruses
that cause hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome The Ebola and
Marburg filoviruses Flaviviruses, including dengue fever, yellow
fever, Kyanasur Forest, Alkhurma, and Omsk hemorrhagic fever
viruses and other flaviviruses with hemorrhagic potential
Virologists, clinicians, biomedical researchers, microbiologists,
and others needing a rapid overview of the nature of these
illnesses will find this book an essential resource on clinical and
basic science aspects of many viral hemorrhagic fevers. The book
will also provide researchers with a springboard to further inquiry
in combating what has become a major global threat.
