In developing countries, the major outbreaks of viral haemorrhagic fevers such as Marburg, Ebola and Lassa fever viruses have been nosocomially spread. The high mortality and absence of specific treatment have had a devastating effect. Epidemics of this highly contagious disease remain a constant threat to Australia and, as a result, carefully planned laboratory and public health strategies and clinical infection control measures have been instituted for the management of suspected cases.
在发展中国家，诸如马尔堡病毒、埃博拉病毒和拉沙热病毒等病毒性出血热的主要疫情都是通过医院内传播的。高死亡率以及缺乏特效治疗方法产生了毁灭性影响。这种高传染性疾病的流行对澳大利亚依然构成持续威胁，因此，已制定了精心规划的实验室和公共卫生战略以及临床感染控制措施，用于管理疑似病例。
