Abstract：
In the past two decades, the world has witnessed devastating pandemics affecting the global healthcare infrastructure and disrupting society and the economy worldwide. Among all pathogens, viruses play a critical role that is associated with outbreaks due to their wide range of species, involvement of animal hosts, easily transmitted to humans, and increased rates of infectivity. Viral disease outbreaks threaten public health globally due to the challenges associated with controlling and eradicating them. Implementing effective viral disease control programs starts with ongoing surveillance data collection and analyses to detect infectious disease trends and patterns, which is critical for maintaining public health. Viral disease control strategies include improved hygiene and sanitation facilities, eliminating arthropod vectors, vaccinations, and quarantine. The Saudi Ministry of Health (MOH) and the Public Health Authority (also known as Weqayah) in Saudi Arabia are responsible for public health surveillance to control and prevent infectious diseases. The notifiable viral diseases based on the Saudi MOH include hepatitis diseases, viral hemorrhagic fevers, respiratory viral diseases, exanthematous viral diseases, neurological viral diseases, and conjunctivitis. Monitoring trends and detecting changes in these viral diseases is essential to provide proper interventions, evaluate the established prevention programs, and develop better prevention strategies. Therefore, this review aims to highlight the epidemiological updates of the recently reported viral infections in Saudi Arabia and to provide insights into the recent clinical treatment and prevention strategies.
摘要：
在过去的二十年里，世界目睹了毁灭性的流行病，影响了全球医疗保健基础设施，扰乱了全球社会和经济。在所有病原体中，由于病毒种类繁多，病毒发挥着与疫情相关的关键作用，动物宿主的参与，很容易传播给人类，和感染率增加。由于与控制和根除病毒疾病相关的挑战，病毒疾病的爆发威胁着全球公共卫生。实施有效的病毒性疾病控制计划始于持续的监测数据收集和分析，以检测传染病趋势和模式。这对维持公众健康至关重要。病毒性疾病控制策略包括改善个人卫生和卫生设施，消灭节肢动物病媒,疫苗接种,和检疫。沙特阿拉伯卫生部（MOH）和沙特阿拉伯公共卫生局（也称为Weqayah）负责公共卫生监测，以控制和预防传染病。基于沙特卫生部的法定病毒性疾病包括肝炎疾病，病毒性出血热,呼吸道病毒性疾病,exanthematous病毒性疾病，神经病毒性疾病，和结膜炎.监测趋势和检测这些病毒性疾病的变化对于提供适当的干预措施至关重要。评估既定的预防计划，制定更好的预防策略。因此,这篇综述旨在强调沙特阿拉伯最近报道的病毒感染的流行病学更新,并对最近的临床治疗和预防策略提供见解.
