Scientists have suggested more surveillance of a new Langya virus found in dozens of people in China and hence, are now studying how easy it is for viruses to spread from animals to humans, and how these outbreak of diseases have gone undetected for so long.
The new virus is called Langya henipavirus. Nearly three dozen farmers and residents have been infected in eastern China. It is believed the virus has spread directly and/or indirectly from mole-like mammals called shrews.
While no deaths were reported, the pathogens were reported in 35 unrelated cases of fevers in hospitals in Henan and Shandong provinces between 2018 and 2021, according to. The findings are aligned with long-standing warning animal viruses are spreading to humans and are left undetected on a global scale.
Leo Poon, a professor at the University of Hong Kong’s School of Public Health, wasn’t involved in the study, but called the virus “the tip of the iceberg.” “We are hugely underestimating the number of these zoonotic cases in the world, and this is just the tip of the iceberg,” said Poon.just last week. The issue has received global attention due to the concern over disease outbreaks and pandemics.
