Symptoms, course and frequency information Hepatitis E is a viral liver disease that is mainly transmitted via the fecal-oral route. The literature describes that the hepatitis E virus can be passed on primarily via contaminated water or contaminated food. This means that hepatitis E is one of those infections for which hygiene, drinking water quality andContinue reading

Symptoms, course and frequency info Arena viruses belong to a comparatively young virus family and comprise several different types that are mainly associated with humans through rodents. They are therefore often described in the literature as rodent-associated viruses. In contrast to many other virus-related infections, arenaviruses do not requireContinue reading

Bunyaviruses form a large and medically important virus family. According to the literature, this family comprises more than 200 species, making it one of the largest virus groups. Many representatives are considered to be important emergent pathogens because they occur in different regions of the world, sometimes suddenly in large numbers.Continue reading

Symptoms, course and frequency information Dengue fever is one of the most important mosquito-borne viral infections worldwide. The disease is a major health problem, particularly in Asia, Africa and America. Dengue is caused by one of four closely related serotypes from the flavivirus group. It is transmitted by diurnal mosquitoes, which means thatContinue reading

Symptoms, course and frequency Yellow fever is a mosquito-borne viral infection that is one of the most serious arboviral diseases in tropical regions. In the literature, yellow fever is described as an acute infection, usually of short duration, although its severity can vary greatly. While some courses remain relatively mild, other forms can be characterized byContinue reading

Symptoms, course and frequency information Rubella, also known as rubella or colloquially as German measles, is a viral infection of humans that occurs worldwide. The rubella virus has a special position within the togavirus-like pathogens and is described in the literature as a separate representative with special biological properties. The virus is mainly transmittedContinue reading

Symptoms, course and frequency information West Nile fever is a mosquito-borne viral infection from the group of arboviruses. In the literature, West Nile virus is classified as a group B arbovirus. The transmission cycle is mainly between birds and mosquitoes, with mosquitoes of the Culex type being the most important vectors. Humans and other vertebrates, often includingContinue reading

Basics, transmission and frequency information Arboviruses form a large group of viruses that are mainly transmitted to humans or other hosts by arthropods. The literature describes them as a very extensive group of enveloped RNA viruses with several hundred representatives. Transmission takes placeContinue reading
