Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers (VHFs) are severe, life-threatening illnesses caused by several families of RNA viruses. They are characterized by fever, bleeding disorders, and multi-organ failure, primarily affecting people in specific endemic regions or during outbreaks. Many VHFs originate in animal hosts like rodents or bats.

Though likely ancient, many VHFs were identified or gained prominence in the 20th century, often through zoonotic spillover events. Viruses like Ebola and Marburg were named after locations of their first recognized outbreaks, highlighting their emergence as significant public health threats. Ongoing research continues to uncover new agents and improve responses.
VHFs are primarily transmitted to humans from infected animal hosts (e.g., rodents, bats) through direct contact with their bodily fluids, waste, or contaminated objects. Human-to-human transmission occurs through direct contact with blood, body fluids (e.g., urine, feces, vomit, semen) of infected individuals, or contaminated needles. Airborne transmission is generally not a primary route.
