Emerging, re-emerging, rare or dangerous viruses are regularly citated in news. Most of theses viruses belong to the class 3 and 4. Clinical specimens must be handled with appropriate bio-security conditions, and, for some of them, high security facilities are required. In Geneva, a new P4D facility aiming to conduct diagnostic procedures targeting these viruses, fills a gap in Switzerland in this field. The goal of this review is to present some examples of past and ongoing viral outbreaks around the world, to present the virus classification according to the biological risk and to summarise basic knowledge concerning class 4 viruses.
新兴、再度出现、罕见或危险的病毒经常在新闻中被提及。这些病毒大多属于3类和4类。临床标本必须在适当的生物安全条件下处理，其中一些还需要高安全设施。在日内瓦，一个旨在针对这些病毒进行诊断程序的新的P4D设施填补了瑞士在这一领域的空白。本综述的目的是列举世界各地过去和正在发生的一些病毒爆发实例，根据生物风险介绍病毒分类，并总结有关4类病毒的基本知识。
