New deadly virus discovered in China

It is probably of animal origin, and a danger to them and to humans.

A new henipavirus named Langya henipavirus (LayV) was discovered in China. It is probably of animal origin, and a danger to them and to humans. This is stated in an article published in the medical journal The New England Journal of Medicine.

So far, 35 patients have been identified in the Chinese provinces of Shandong and Henan who contracted the virus. No deaths have been reported.

The relationship between sick people has not been established, as well as whether the virus can be transmitted from person to person. Among animals, Lanya is most common in shrews, and antibodies to it have also been found in goats and dogs.

Symptoms of Lanya virus include fever, weakness, cough, anorexia, muscle aches, nausea, vomiting, and headache.

Scientists have discovered similarities between the new virus and other henipaviruses – it is most similar to Mojiang.

Until recently, only two henipaviruses dangerous to humans were known in the world – Nipah and Hendra. The disease can occur both in an asymptomatic form, and in the form of a serious respiratory infection with a fatal outcome. Their carriers in the wild are bats.

We remind you, earlier it was reported that an outbreak of COVID-19 was recorded in China. The daily number of detected infections rose to its highest level in seven weeks.
