The Department of Biology at the College of Science has organized a lecture entitled “VHFs in Iraq” in the presence of a number of students, professors and professionals in veterinary medicine. The lecture aimed to highlight this disease that affects multiple organ systems in the body and may be accompanied by hemorrhage, or bleeding where the physicians consider it as a group of infectious diseases caused by several distinct families of viruses that conflict with the body’s ability to form clots, as well as generally defined as a syndrome that affects multiple organs in the body, namely the vascular system.
The lecture was presented by Dr. Janan Attia Ghafal who tried to review the cases of VHFs across the world, pointing out that it is often accompanied by bleeding symptoms, which is rarely life-threatening, stressing that many of these viruses cause severe or mild life-threatening diseases that is something calls for studying their symptoms and methods of spread to find out prevention and treatment procedures appropriately.
