Nucleic acid amplification is the diagnostic test of choice because of its high sensitivity (especially in the early phase of illness); its ability to differentiate between different agents of viral hemorrhagic fever; and its relatively lower biohazard, if the viruses are appropriately inactivated; and because antigen and antibody assays are often unavailable in laboratories in nonendemic countries. 119e123 Animal studies also demonstrate the efficacy of favipiravir in the treatment of Junín virus, arenavirus, and EBOV hemorrhagic fevers, and the drug was used to treat human EVD in the 2014 West African epidemic.	./cache/cord-330647-w1bpeqzg.txt	./txt/cord-330647-w1bpeqzg.txt
