Over 40 filovirus disease outbreaks have been reported since the discovery of the first member of the Filoviridae family, and most of the outbreaks have occurred in Africa. In addition to deaths (primary impacts), there have also been health, social, economic, and political effects (secondary impacts) due to the outbreaks. Two large filovirus disease outbreaks have occurred in West and Central Africa in recent times, and direct and indirect repercussions resulting from the outbreaks underscores the need to strengthen the capacity of health services in disease hotspots.
自发现丝状病毒科的第一个成员以来,已经报告了 40 多起丝状病毒病疫情,其中大多数疫情发生在非洲。除了死亡(主要影响)外,疫情还造成了卫生、社会、经济和政治方面的影响(次要影响)。最近,西非和中非发生了两起大型丝状病毒病疫情,疫情造成的直接和间接影响突显了加强疾病热点地区卫生服务能力的必要性。
