Abstract
Viral infections are global public health concern and RNA viruses are the major cause of morbidity and mortality
across the world due to their high error rate of replication and better adaptability inside the host cell. Some of the
recent viral outbreaks around the globe are mainly hepatitis and its subtypes, influenza and its subtypes, Japanese
encephalitis, dengue, ebola and the chikungunya. Vaccines are available only for some of these diseases.
Therefore, organisation comprising WHO in accordance with the International Health Regulations of 2005 keeps
on to track the evolving infectious diseases and the Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network, establishes
the human and technical resources to diagnose these outbreaks and thereby check the virus growth. In this review
article, we are discussing the outbreaks, precautions along with the appropriate preparedness of individual as
well as the government for dealing with these viral diseases.
