The deadly "Nipah" virus returns. India declares warning

India declared the maximum warning after the rise of the deadly ‘Nipah’ virus, which killed at least two people over the past few days, and led to hundreds of tests in the southern state of Kerala. This is the third time during the five years that the virus that damages the brain appears, and it is transmitted from bats and pigs to humans, in the Kozikud region, Kerala. In 2018, 21 people died from the disease during the disease before it could contain it, and the virus was previously discovered in other countries, including Singapore and Malaysia, according to “Bloomberg”. What is the Nipah virus? “Nipah” is an animal league, that is, that it is transmitted from animals to humans, and it can cause serious respiratory infection and attack the brain, according to the World Health Organization. The virus was discovered for the first time in 1999 during the spread of the disease between Malaysian pig educators, as well as in Singapore, and although new injuries occurred in one of the two countries, there have been periodic cases of periodic outbreaks in Bangladesh and India since 2001. How does the “Nipah” virus move? It is believed that the spread of the disease in Malaysia arises from the transmission of the virus of infected pigs to humans, but it is believed that the most likely transition path in India and Bangladesh is to eat fruit products, such as palm juice, contaminated with urine or saliva of infected fruit, according to the World Health Organization. The health organization said it is possible that a high percentage of subsequent outbreaks are possible due to the transfer of infection from one person to another. Symptoms of the “nipah” virus usually begin with fever and headache, and are often accompanied by the symptoms of respiratory diseases, such as coughing or sore throats, according to the US centers to combat and prevent CDC from disease. Symptoms can occur at any time within two weeks of exposure to the virus, and can get worse, leading to confusion, seizures and encephalitis, which can lead to patients who enter a coma within 24 to 48 hours. The danger of the “Nipah” virus dies at 40% to 75% of patients with the virus, and the death rate varies from outbreak to another, which justifies India’s fear. The treatment of “Nipah” virus There are currently no anti -virus vaccines available to humans or animals, and there are no effective treatments other than providing care and support. Researchers are currently working on the development of unilateral antibodies, which are immune medicine that can directly fight the virus, but according to CDC, there is not yet available, but according to CDC, there is not yet available. Local media reported that India is working to provide this kind of unilateral antibody, and the state of the state of Kerala is working to monitor people who have to do with patients in an effort to contain the outbreak of the virus. The spread of the “Nipah” virus and so far the virus has only appeared in the next Asian countries, India, Bangladesh, Singapore, Malaysia and the Philippines. Scientists see that some factors such as climate change and the removal of forests increase the risk of infection between animals and humans, and in the case of the spread of Nipah in Malaysia, it was believed that agricultural condensation created a path for spreading the virus from fruit bats to pigs and then to humans. Animal diseases occur frequently as they represent more than 6 out of the 10 infectious diseases known to humans, according to US centers to combat and prevent disease. Most of the time, the infection causes limited symptoms, and then ends without causing a significant effect. However, in the wake of the Corona virus pandemic, more tracking systems were placed to monitor new pathogens. Also read:
