Ana Gligić, (née Ana Filipović, 6 August 1934 – 4 January 2025) was a Yugoslav and Serbian virologist, a specialist in medical microbiology and a senior research associate at the University of Belgrade Faculty of Medicine best known for her research on the Marburg virus, which she was the first to isolate and describe in 1967[1][2] [3].
In 1972, she isolated the smallpox virus in Belgrade, which prevented the spread of the disease in the city and thus a major disaster[4]. Her research on Hantavirus hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and isolation of hantaviruses, unique to the Balkans, have gained her worldwide recognition [5].Gligić died in Belgrade on 4 January 2025, at the age of 90 [6].
