01	1	Adenoviral keratoconjunctivitis	Disease	Adenoviridae	Direct contact; fomites; contaminated ophthalmic instruments; respiratory droplets	Eyes	Severe conjunctival inflammation; keratitis; photophobia; tearing; foreign body sensation; subepithelial corneal infiltrates; lid oedema; preauricular lymphadenopathy	5-12 days	Clinical examination; viral culture; PCR of conjunctival swab; immunochromatography (AdenoPlus rapid test)	Supportive care (cold compresses, artificial tears); no specific antiviral; topical corticosteroids for subepithelial infiltrates (controversial); cidofovir (investigational)	Strict hand hygiene; disinfection of ophthalmic equipment; avoid sharing towels/eye cosmetics; isolation of infected individuals	Worldwide; epidemic outbreaks in hospitals, military barracks, swimming pools	Extremely rare (essentially 0%)	Caused mainly by adenovirus serotypes 8, 19, 37; highly contagious; epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (EKC) is the most severe form; corneal opacities can persist for months to years
02	2	Amur virus	Virus	Hantaviridae (Bunyavirales)	Inhalation of aerosolised rodent excreta (urine, droppings, saliva) from Korean field mouse (Apodemus peninsulae)	Kidneys; vascular system	Haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS): fever; headache; myalgia; abdominal pain; haemorrhagic manifestations; renal failure; hypotension; thrombocytopaenia	2-4 weeks	Serology (IgM/IgG ELISA); RT-PCR; immunofluorescence assay	Supportive care; fluid management; dialysis if needed; ribavirin (investigational, may reduce mortality if given early)	Rodent control; avoid contact with rodent excreta; proper ventilation when cleaning rodent-infested areas	Far East Russia; northeastern China; Korea	~5-15% (HFRS)	Closely related to Hantaan virus; named after Amur River region; carried by Apodemus peninsulae; causes moderate to severe HFRS
03	3	Andes virus	Virus	Hantaviridae (Bunyavirales)	Inhalation of aerosolised rodent excreta from long-tailed colilargo (Oligoryzomys longicaudatus); person-to-person transmission documented	Lungs; vascular system	Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS): prodromal fever, myalgia, headache followed by rapid-onset non-cardiogenic pulmonary oedema; respiratory failure; shock; thrombocytopaenia	1-5 weeks (average 2 weeks)	Serology (IgM ELISA); RT-PCR; immunohistochemistry	Intensive supportive care; mechanical ventilation; ECMO in severe cases; no approved antiviral	Rodent control; avoid contact with rodent excreta; infection control for person-to-person risk; proper PPE	South America (Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia)	~25-40% (HPS)	Only hantavirus with confirmed person-to-person transmission; first identified in 1995 in Argentina; can cause both HPS and HFRS-like illness
04	4	Astrovirus	Virus	Astroviridae	Faecal-oral route; contaminated food and water; person-to-person contact	Gastrointestinal tract	Watery diarrhoea; nausea; vomiting; abdominal cramps; low-grade fever; malaise; typically milder than rotavirus	1-4 days	Electron microscopy (star-shaped morphology); ELISA; RT-PCR; immunochromatography	Supportive care; oral or IV rehydration; no specific antiviral	Hand hygiene; safe food/water handling; environmental disinfection	Worldwide	Very low (<0.1%); deaths rare, mainly in immunocompromised or malnourished children	Named for star-like appearance under electron microscopy; common cause of viral gastroenteritis in children (after rotavirus and norovirus); 8 human serotypes (HAstV 1-8); serotype 1 most prevalent
05	5	Bas-Congo virus	Virus	Rhabdoviridae	Suspected person-to-person (exact mechanism unknown); possibly via body fluids; insect vectors suspected	Vascular system; multi-organ	Acute haemorrhagic fever; fever; headache; vomiting; bloody diarrhoea; epistaxis; gingival bleeding; conjunctival injection	Unknown (estimated 2-10 days based on case cluster)	RT-PCR; next-generation sequencing; serology (neutralisation assay)	Supportive care; no specific antiviral available	Standard infection control precautions; contact and droplet precautions; further research needed	Democratic Republic of Congo (Bas-Congo province)	~2 of 3 known cases fatal (~67%)	Cases occurred in 2009; virus identified via retrospective sequencing and published in 2012; novel rhabdovirus; only 3 cases reported (2 fatal); first rhabdovirus associated with acute haemorrhagic fever in humans; natural reservoir unknown
