Epidemiological characteristics of human-infective RNA viruses
RNA viruses are a major threat to human health. Here, based on extensive literature searches carried out over a period of 18 years, we provide a catalogue of all 214 known human-infective RNA virus species. We link these viruses to metadata for a number of traits that influence their epidemiology, including the date of the first report of human infection, transmissibility in human populations, ...
متن کاملEpidemiological characteristics of human prion diseases
Human prion diseases are a group of transmissible, progressive, and invariably fatal neurodegenerative disorders, which include Kuru, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker syndrome, and fatal familial insomnia. Human prion diseases affect approximately 1-2 persons per million worldwide annually, occurring in sporadic, inherited, and acquired forms. These diseases have ...
متن کاملRNA tumor viruses and human cancer.
There is a strong association between viruses and the development of human malignancies. A group of oncogenic DNA viruses exists in the human population today, members of which serve as infectious agents of cancer worldwide. The group includes the Epstein-Barr virus, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus, human papillomaviruses and human polyomaviruses. Globally, it is estimated that 20% of a...
متن کاملRNA tumor viruses and human lymphomas.
We have used molecular hybridization to detect virus-specific RNA in tumors ( I ) , and have found that corresponding neoplasias of murine and human origin exhibit remarkable similarities. Thus, human breast carcinomas contained (2) RNA possessing sequence homology to that of mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV). This type of RNA was unique to the malignant adenoand medullary-carcinomas, being unde...
متن کاملRNA tumor viruses and human leukemias.
Considerable information is available concerning the etiological role of RNA tumor viruses in leukemias, lymphomas, sarcomas, and breast Cancer in a variety of animals, e. g., chicken ( I ) , mice (2), cats (3), etc. In animals, causative proof has been achieved by inoculation experiments that satisfy Koch's postulates. In man, such experiments obviously cannot be undertaken, and other more ind...
