丝状病毒引起暴发，导致人类和非人灵长类动物的高死亡率，因此将其标记为对公共卫生和物种保护的主要威胁。在这篇综述中，我们通过描述导致爆发的情况以及每次爆发的方式，按时间顺序介绍了过去52年中发生的导致丝状病毒病爆发的索引病例。自1967年和1976年分别发现马尔堡病毒和埃博拉病毒以来，已报告了40多起丝状病毒病暴发;其中大多数发生在非洲。本综述按时间顺序介绍，旨在简要概述自病毒发现以来丝状病毒病的爆发情况，并强调爆发的发生模式。这篇综述将有助于研究人员更好地了解监测的必要性，特别是在没有丝状病毒病爆发的地区。最后，我们总结了多年来卫生和政策决策者提出的一些建议。
Filoviruses cause outbreaks which lead to high fatality in humans and non-human primates, thus tagging them as major threats to public health and species conservation. In this review, we give account of index cases responsible for filovirus disease outbreaks that have occurred over the past 52 years in a chronological fashion, by describing the circumstances that led to the outbreaks, and how each of the outbreaks broke out. Since the discovery of Marburg virus and Ebola virus in 1967 and 1976, respectively, more than 40 filovirus disease outbreaks have been reported; majority of which have occurred in Africa. The chronological presentation of this review is to provide a concise overview of filovirus disease outbreaks since the discovery of the viruses, and highlight the patterns in the occurrence of the outbreaks. This review will help researchers to better appreciate the need for surveillance, especially in areas where there have been no filovirus disease outbreaks. We conclude by summarizing some recommendations that have been proposed by health and policy decision makers over the years.
