Viral Infections of Humans

Abstract

The American Committee on Arthropod-borne Viruses (ACAV), Subcommittee on Information Exchange, sponsored by the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene published the Catalogue of Arthropod-borne Viruses of the World, compiled originally by R. M. Taylor in 1967. This was supplemented by several revisions and has been completely revised in 1985.(52) The 1985 revision lists 489 arboviruses and contains basic information on classification and serological relationships, geographic distribution, vertebrate hosts and arthropod vectors, pathogenesis, pathology and disease associations, cultural characteristics, composition, and morphology, plus a condensed bibliography for each virus. There are 12 families, 11 genera, 61 antigenic groups, and a residue of 20 groupings of uncertain status, scattered through several families, and themselves holding 52 viruses. Table 1 is a synopsis of the present position for the more important (from the standpoint of human or animal disease) arbovirus groupings. The ACAV 1985 catalogue listing includes 12 arenaviruses, four hantaviruses, and Ebola and Marburg, which are not arboviruses but appear in the catalogue because they are viruses likely to be encountered by arbovirus field investigators. Several of these viruses—Lassa, Machupo, Junin, Marburg, Ebola, and Hantaan—are discussed in other chapters.
