The viruses that cause hemorrhagic fever come in three basic types: bunyaviruses, which include the Sin Nombre hantavirus that caused 11 deaths in the US in 1992-93; arenaviruses, such as South America's Junin virus; and filoviruses, such as Africa's deadly Ebola virus. The viruses appear to be spreading.
