Bunyaviridae—Natural History

  • Chapter
Bunyaviridae

Part of the book series: Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology ((CT MICROBIOLOGY,volume 169))

Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to introduce the reader to the remarkable natural histories of viruses in the family Bunyaviridae. This is not a trivial undertaking; there are more than 250 viruses in the family, including such significant human and veterinary pathogens as: Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, Rift Valley fever, La Crosse, Hantaan, Oropouche, Akabane, and Nairobi sheep disease viruses (Karabatsos 1985). To describe the natural history of each virus in the family is beyond the scope of this chapter. Each has a unique cycle in nature, many have sylvatic and epidemic cycles, and, for most, little is known about their natural history. Even to describe in detail those cycles that are well defined would be impractical in the space allotted. Excellent reviews of the natural histories of viruses in the family Bunyaviridae or specific groups of viruses in the family have been published. Notable are the series of in depth review chapters on specific groups of the family Bunyaviridae in The Arboviruses: Epidemiology and Ecology (Monath 1988) and the books The Arthropod-borne Viruses of Vertebrates (Theiler and Downs 1973) and California Serogroup Viruses (Calisher and Thompson 1983). More general reviews include those by Gonzalez-Scarano and Nathanson (1990), Shope (1985), and Bishop and Shope (1979). Many monographs and papers describing in detail the natural history of specific viruses are also referenced in this chapter.
