In the past there were at least 23 epidemics with Ebola virus (EbV). Presently there are pandemics with Hepatitis C virus (HCV) and Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The recent epidemic of EbV has taken an year to get contained. Infections with HCV and HIV are continuing to increase. At present, except for EbV, neither HCV nor HIV have a vaccine to prevent future infections. Here, a snapshot of the three viruses with regard to their characteristics and prevalence (both global and Indian) are generated with an emphasis to study the infection dynamics of these three RNA viruses in relation to each other. An emphasis is made towards the common or shared features of the three viruses.
