  THE DYNAMICS OF HUMAN–VIRUS INTERACTIONS

  The stable association of viruses with their natural host places specific constraints on the nature of viral disease and mode of persistence

  Classification of human disease–causing viruses according to virus–host dynamics Viral diseases leading to persistence of the virus in the host are generally associated with viruses having long associations with human populations Viral diseases associated with acute, severe infection are suggestive of zoonoses

  PATTERNS OF SPECIFIC VIRAL DISEASES OF HUMANS

  Acute infections followed by virus clearing Colds and respiratory infections Influenza Variola

  Infection of an “accidental” target tissue leading to permanent damage despite efficient clearing

  Persistent viral infections Papilloma and polyomavirus infections Herpesvirus infections and latency Other complications arising from persistent infections

  Viral and subviral diseases with long incubation periods Rabies HIV/AIDS Prion diseases

  SOME VIRAL INFECTIONS TARGETING SPECIFIC ORGAN SYSTEMS

  Viral infections of nerve tissue

  Examples of viral encephalitis with grave prognosis Rabies Herpes encephalitis

  Viral encephalitis with favorable prognosis for recovery

  Viral infections of the liver (viral hepatitis) Hepatitis A Hepatitis B Hepatitis C Hepatitis D Hepatitis E
