Abstract

Despite an elaborate armamentarium to tackle microbes, emerging infectious diseases remain a crucial global challenge. Emerging infections can be defined as "infections that have newly appeared in a population or have existed previously but are rapidly increasing in incidence or geographic range." Several factors like increase in international travel and trade, human encroachment on wild-life habitats, changes in agricultural practices and wild-life trade have contributed to the emergence of pathogens. Emergence/re-emergence of several viral infections has been reported from India in the past few decades; some of the important emerging viral infections are discussed in this review. They include infection due to Nipah, Hantaviruses, Chikungunya, Human Enterovirus-71, Influenza, Chandipura, Crimean Congo, SARS Coronavirus, Buffalopox, Dengue and Japanese Encephalitis viruses. Creating increased awareness and training of clinical microbiologists/virologists for identification of new/emerging pathogens, and prompt reporting and management of outbreaks is essential to tackle the threat posed by emerging/re-emerging infections.

印度新出现的病毒感染。

尽管有一套精密的装备来对付微生物，但新出现的传染病仍然是一个重大的全球挑战。新发感染可以定义为“在人群中新出现的感染或以前存在的感染，但发病率或地理范围迅速增加。”国际旅行和贸易的增加、人类对野生动物栖息地的侵犯、农业实践的变化和野生动物贸易等几个因素促成了病原体的出现。在过去的几十年里，印度报告了几种病毒感染的出现/重新出现;本文讨论了一些重要的新发病毒感染。它们包括尼帕病毒、汉坦病毒、基孔肯雅热、人类肠病毒71型、流感、昌迪普拉病毒、克里米亚刚果病毒、SARS冠状病毒、水痘、登革热和日本脑炎病毒引起的感染。提高临床微生物学家/病毒学家的认识和培训，以识别新的/新出现的病原体，并及时报告和管理疫情，对于解决新出现/再出现感染所构成的威胁至关重要。

期刊介绍： The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, India, Section B: Biological Sciences, is one of the oldest journals of India, launched in the year 1930, by the National Academy of Sciences, India (the Oldest Science Academy of India). The research/review papers of different fields of science, e.g. Agriculture Sciences (Agriculture, Animal Husbandry, Fisheries, Forestry, Agric. Toxicology, Soil Science, Plant Protection, Post Harvest Technology, and Agricultural Engineering), Animal Sciences (Structural, Developmental, Functional, Genetical, Ecological, Behavioural, Taxonomical and Evolutionary Aspects), Biochemistry, Biophysics, Biotechnology (including Molecular and Cell Biology, Structural and Functional Studies, Microbiology and Immunology), Medical & Forensic Sciences (Basic and Clinical Medical Sciences, Pharmacology, Anthropology, Psychology and Forensic Sciences, Human genetics, Reproduction Biology, Neurosciences and Molecular Medicine) and Plant Sciences (Structural, Developmental, Functional, Genetical, Ecological, Taxonomical and Evolutionary Aspects), are published in this journal for dissemination of the scientific knowledge and research. The papers published are indexed/abstracted by the leading abstracting agencies of the world. The papers are published after critical review and editing by the eminent experts of the concerned subject area; therefore, the quality publication is assured once the paper is accepted by the learned referees.
