35 PERSONS IN EASTERN CHINA CONTRACTED LANGYA VIRUS

  • 10/08/2022

Scientists are monitoring an animal-derived virus that has infected at least a dozen people in eastern China.

In the Shandong and Henan provinces, 35 patients have the new Langya henipavirus (LayV). Many people displayed signs like fever, exhaustion, and a cough.

It is believed that animals may have exposed them to the virus. There is currently no proof that LayV may spread between people.

The virus was mostly found in shrews, according to researchers.

Researchers from China, Singapore, and Australia wrote a letter that was this month published in the New England Journal of Medicine that highlighted the discovery.
