Product Description
In 1993, the outbreak of a mysterious, deadly respiratory illness in the southwestern United States made national headlines. When a hantavirus was found to be the culprit, other governments in the Region began to focus greater attention on the presence and effects of hantavirus in their countries. This publication presents an extensive view of what came to be known as hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS), its clinical manifestations, methods of preventing infection, and measures taken by governments in the Region to monitor hantaviruses and educate health professionals and the general public about the disease.

This comprehensive manual begins by describing the different hantaviruses known in the Americas and their reservoirs, rodent ecology and zoology, and the epidemiology of human disease in the Region. Upon this foundation, the manual describes the disease's clinical manifestation and diagnosis and presents guidelines for HPS surveillance, treatment, and case management. It also provides detailed, easy-to-follow instructions for preventing infection in the home, hospital, and laboratory, as well for cleaning rodent-infested areas. The importance of educating health professionals and the general public about the disease is stressed through examples of communication strategies used in different countries of the Region. The publication also provides an overview of communication tools that can be adapted to educate diverse populations about HPS and other communicable diseases.

An essential tool for anyone involved in hantavirus prevention, control, treatment, or health education activities, Hantavirus in the Americas: Guidelines for Diagnosis, Treatment, Prevention, and Control contains useful, stand-alone annexes, such as sample case report forms, guidelines for safe handling and transfer of specimens, educational resources, and descriptions of prevention campaigns undertaken by countries in the Region. The book's handy format allows for quick reproduction and distribution of the annexes and infection prevention and control measures. ... Read more

Excerpt: Ivory Coast ebolavirusReston ebolavirusSudan ebolavirusZaire ebolavirus Ebola is the virus Ebolavirus (EBOV), a viral genus, and the disease Ebola hemorrhagic fever (EHF), a viral hemorrhagic fever (VHF). The virus is named after the Ebola River Valley in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (formerly Zaire), which is near the site of the first recognized outbreak in 1976 at a mission hospital run by Flemish nuns. It remained largely obscure until 1989 when several widely publicized outbreaks occurred among monkeys in the United States. The virus interferes with the endothelial cells lining the interior surface of blood vessels and with coagulation. As the blood vessel walls become damaged and destroyed, the platelets are unable to coagulate, patients succumb to hypovolemic shock. Ebola is transmitted through bodily fluids, while conjunctiva exposure may also lead to transmission. There are five recognized species within the ebolavirus genus, which have a number of specific strains. The Zaire virus is the type species, which is also the first discovered and the most lethal. Electron micrographs show long filaments, characteristic of the Filoviridae viral family. The genera Ebolavirus and Marburgvirus were originally classified as the species of ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=57246 ... Read more

Le livre consiste d'articles Wikipedia sur : Hantavirus, Fièvre Pappataci, Bunyaviridae, Sin Nombre Virus. Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Le genre Hantavirus décrit des virus appartenant à la famille des Bunyaviridae, dont le virus Hantaan qui semble le plus dangereux. L'humain est un hôte accidentel, l'homme est un des hôtes mammifères possibles. L'animal-réservoir est un rongeur avec des espèces variant selon les régions du monde : Les hantavirus est un virus enveloppé, de 180 à 115 nm de diamètre, caractérisé par des particules virales sphériques ou ovoïdes. Son ARN est monocaténaire, de polarité négative.On connait 25 espèces virales antigéniquement distinctes, qui sont responsables de plusieurs fièvres hémorragiques (dont la fièvre hémorragique de Corée en Amérique du Nord) généralement foudroyantes. Divers hantavirus ont été isolés chez des rat de plusieurs grandes villes d'Asie et d'occident dont aux États-Unis et au Brésil; D'autres Bunyaviridae sont responsables de fièvres hémorragiques. Notamment : D'autres virus causent des fièvres hémorragiques : La plupart de ces fièvres sont considérées comme transmises ou transmissibles à l'homme à partir de vecteurs sains dans le monde animal. C'est ainsi que s'expliquent (pour les pathologies les plus rares) les apparitions sporadiques de ces maladies souvent extrêmement graves puisque dans 5 à 15 % des cas, la phase associant hypotension artérielle et oligurie se conclue par la mort du patient. Seuls les examens peuvent confirmer le diagnostic. C'est une maladie sérieuse qui peut conduire au coma puis à la mort si elle n'est pas soignée. Des antalgiques (ne contenant que du paracétamol pour ne pas accentuer l'hémorragie) aident à contrôler la fièvre et les maux de tête Des complications ...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more
