Blood-borne disease From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. A blood-borne disease (sometimes referred to as a blood-borne virus or BBV) is one that can be spread through contamination by blood and other body fluids. The most common examples are HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and viral hemorrhagic fevers.Diseases that are not usually transmitted directly by blood contact, but rather by insect or other vector, are more usefully classified as vector-borne disease, even though the causative agent can be found in blood.Vector-borne diseases include West Nile virus and malaria.he most common examples are HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and viral hemorrhagic fevers.

What are blood-borne viruses? Further details. Blood-borne viruses that cause hepatitis include the hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV). Other viruses that cause hepatitis (such as hepatitis A and E) are not usually passed on by blood-to-blood contact and hence do not present a significant risk of blood-borne infection.ther viruses that cause hepatitis (such as hepatitis A and E) are not usually passed on by blood-to-blood contact and hence do not present a significant risk of blood-borne infection.

Virus HIV is one of several viruses transmitted through sexual contact and by exposure to infected blood. The range of host cells that a virus can infect is called its  host range . This can be narrow, meaning a virus is capable of infecting few species, or broad, meaning it is capable of infecting many.iruses spread in many ways; viruses in plants are often transmitted from plant to plant by insects that feed on plant sap, such as aphids; viruses in animals can be carried by blood-sucking insects. These disease-bearing organisms are known as vectors. Influenza viruses are spread by coughing and sneezing.

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) HIV is most commonly passed on through unprotected sex. It can also be transmitted by coming into contact with infected blood – for example, sharing needles to inject steroids or drugs. The HIV virus attacks and weakens the immune system, making it less able to fight infections and disease.

Overview Experts suspect that both viruses are transmitted to humans through an infected animal's bodily fluids. Examples include: 1  Blood. 2  Butchering or eating infected animals can spread the viruses. 3  Scientists who have operated on infected animals as part of their research have also contracted the virus. 4  Waste products. milder strain of Ebola has been discovered in monkeys and pigs in the Philippines. Marburg virus has been found in monkeys, chimps and fruit bats in Africa.
