Emerging Issues in Neurovirology: New Viruses, Diagnostic Tools, and Therapeutics 2008-08-31 .txt text/plain 3296 158 41 In the current era of escalating globalization with rapid transport, changing climate, and an ever growing human population with associated changes in lifestyle, poverty, and war, the emergence of new neurologic infections is accelerated. In the 1960s and 1970s, this emergence was foreshadowed by the appearance of new recombinant (duck-human) influenza viruses, legionnaires' disease, toxic shock syndrome, Lyme disease, and the neurovirulent La Crosse strains of California encephalitis virus. Some have been due to the evolution of more virulent agents (eg, enterovirus 71, chikunqunya virus, and drug-resistant microbes), some to geographic relocation of agents (eg, Dengue type 3 in Sri Lanka and West Nile virus in North America), and some to contact with animals and crossing of species barriers (eg, bovine spongiform encephalopathy, variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, Nipah virus, and the severe acute respiratory syndrome [SARS] virus). ./cache/cord-285367-jxlt0gby.txt ./txt/cord-285367-jxlt0gby.txt
