Facing another epidemic in China? Researchers discovered 20 new viruses and two henipavirus, which belong to the deadly Nipa and Handra strains in Yunnan bats.
Next epidemic: Many researchers from Chinese universities and some international colleagues recently published their findings. Kidney samples were collected from 142 bats, representing ten species, in five areas of Yunnan province from 2017 to 2020. Researchers were able to find genetic information on 22 types of viruses, of which 20 were completely new. Two of them were Henipwirus, which belonged to the Zunotic virus, which were highly dangerous, and closely belonging to the deadly Harendra and Nipa strains, which have a high deadly rate.
How dangerous are henipwirus?
Henipwirus are dangerous pathogens, which reach 75% in humans due to severe brain and respiratory damage and high deadly rates. Historical outbreak Nipa In Malaysia and Bangladesh, and in Australia, Harendra indicates a deadly virus. Recently identified Yana Bat Henipwirus 1 is genetically similar to Nipa and Handra, which shares 71% of their major proteins. This development came after a few years outbreak of Kovid -19, which also occurred in China, with its first known case in Wuhan City and the dangers of the emerging virus in 2019 expressed global concern.
About the discovery site
Scientists found that this dangerous virus is found in the kidney of bats, possibly the possibility of their urine. Some bat species also live in the gardens of rural areas, where their urine is likely to be exposed to fruits, which can also reach water, which can infect people and animals. Dr. Vinod Balasubramaniam, a virologist, insisted on anxiety that increases the possibility of humans coming into contact with the virus.
The team also found a new parasitic, Clociela Yunnensis and two pre -ignored species as bacteria, called flavobacterium, which contributes to the entire range of germs in bats.
While there is no guarantee of the spillover of the virus towards humans, and it can be the same as before, as Nipa did a fruit contaminated with a bat in Bangladesh. Yunnan is near Malaysia, where Nipa was first recognized, which has made the virusist a virus. Dr. Alison Peel, an ecological, stated that not all henipavirus are dangerous, but need laboratory tests to detect their potential infectious to humans.
Early signs of epidemic
This research serves as a serious reminder to humans that their encroachment on wildlife houses is putting them at risk of new viruses. Foodborn and waterborne diseases are given rise from food and water sharing. This broadcast viruses from animals to humans.
Remedy you need to take now
Experts suggest that the best way to reduce the risk is to create local health systems, as well as educate the precautions related to covering fruits using boiling water to purify the public, and scientists expanded their ongoing monitoring of the virus and their spread in bats.
