WHO watch out
‘Langya’ virus
spread instead of covid
Pandemic Pandemic
The Genome Center states The World Health Organization is concerned regarding the infectious disease threat from the “Langya” virus that has begun to spread to humans. by contact from animals The first patient was found in 35 farmers in China in ’65, warning many countries. be prepared extract the epidemic spread Symptoms similar to COVID-19 are fever, respiratory system Severe inflammation, but no deaths have been reported.
On June 30, the Medical Genome Center Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital Post a message via Facebook Center for Medical Genomics, identifying “Langya virus”, an infection in the Henipa virus group. that may replace the COVID-19 virus that While the threat of the COVID-19 pandemic is regarding to become a seasonal disease and endemic diseases, respectively. But a new group of viruses, henipavirus, has been found to have an outbreak similar to COVID.
Dr Ariel Isaacs and Dr Yu Changlow Researchers from the University of Queensland Australia published research in the medical journal “Nature Communications” in June suggesting that there is a very high risk of laryngospasm. in the henipa group The Langyahenipavirus, or LayV, is regarding to spread in humans. Although currently no human-to-human transmission has been found. But instead, there is an increasing frequency of animal-to-human outbreaks of the Langya virus.
“Importantly, if only a few mutations in the genome cause the viral spines to bind better to human cells, it will help the langya virus to transcend from animals to spread among humans. As has happened with the 2019 coronavirus in the past, the Medical Genome Center at Ramathibodi Hospital is ready to quickly examine the genetic code. to detect the aforementioned Laxative virus from the specimen, ”said the Genome Center.
and that the World Health Organization (WHO) and scientists around the world expect the next global infectious disease threat In addition to the COVID-19 virus new strains or avian influenza viruses It might be the Hannipa virus group. These include Langya, Mòjiāng, Nipah and Hendra viruses.
for the virus It is a viral disease transmitted from animals to humans. First identified in 35 farmers in China’s Shandong and Henan provinces in 2022, the Lungya virus belongs to the family. Paramyxoviridae, as well as Mojiang virus, Hendra virus and Nipah virus The death rate of infected people is higher than 70%. It is a virus whose genome is “RNA”. When infected, it causes fever and severe respiratory symptoms. And can lead to pneumonia that can be fatal. Like COVID-19 by the virus found infection in mammals such as humans, dogs, goats
It is expected that the original nesting animal is small rodent-like mammal There is a long pointed mouth (shrews), but there are no reports of deaths due to the virus. And the virus has not been found to be transmitted from person to person. However, researchers have warned that This is not the first time that the Langya virus has spread to humans. This virus is relatively new to humans. that might create a global health emergency Similar to the corona virus that spreads to humans all over the world. There is currently no cure or vaccine for this group of viruses. The researchers are working on ways to develop vaccines and drugs once morest this virus. and the World Health Organization to monitor widespread outbreaks Following the warnings, the researchers said. These viruses can cause serious diseases that have the potential to run out of control. If we are not properly prepared
As for the reports of illnesses of people infected with Langya virus, the infection was in contact with small rodents, with respiratory symptoms such as fever, cough and fatigue. No deaths have been reported yet.
