Pakistan is endemic to a number of viral infections, owing to its humid climate, topographical variation, soaring population, and lack of education and awareness. These viruses may have several different modes of transmission, including respiratory or airborne transmission, sexual transmission, blood-borne, fecal-oral transmission, vector-borne transmission, and transmission following an organ transplant. Although several different microorganisms are responsible for causing these infections, a few viruses are found more commonly in Pakistan and are primarily responsible for causing infections. In this study, we present a review of the most recent studies on different viruses, transmitted through various transmission routes, found commonly in Pakistan, along with the prevalence of each, and recommend control measures required against these viruses.
巴基斯坦由于其潮湿的气候、地形变化、人口激增以及缺乏教育和意识，存在许多病毒性感染的地方病。这些病毒可能有几种不同的传播方式，包括呼吸道或空气传播、性传播、血液传播、粪口传播、媒介传播和器官移植后传播。虽然有几种不同的微生物负责引起这些感染，但有几种病毒在巴基斯坦更为常见，主要负责引起感染。在这项研究中，我们回顾了最近关于在巴基斯坦常见的通过不同传播途径传播的不同病毒的研究，以及每种病毒的流行情况，并建议了针对这些病毒所需的控制措施。
