Since the arrival of the coronavirus and all the tragic consequences that its advance brought with it, no virus, no matter how harmless it may seem, is a lesser evil for us. Two and a half years later, it seems that the wake of a pandemic that we have not yet eradicated is dragging that of other diseases that we were unaware of until now. The most alarming is the still rising ‘monkey pox’, declared just a few weeks ago an international health emergency. Of course, the authorities, despite acting with prudence, call for calm because it is a known disease for which there are treatments. This is not the case of the latest virus detected in China of animal origin that has set off alarms after detecting 35 cases in the eastern country. The new zoonotic virus is called Langya, it belongs to the Henipavirus type, and there is no known vaccine or treatment beyond health care. According to their study, published in the scientific journal ‘New England Journal of Medicine’, and echoed by the Global Times, this new type of henipavirus has been found in throat swab samples from febrile patients from eastern China with a history of from recent contact with domestic animals such as dogs and goats, and wild animals, such as the shrew. The virus, of which the first affected already show symptoms, is related to fever, tiredness, cough, loss of appetite, headaches, muscle aches and nausea. What are the risks? Henipaviruses can cause severe disease in animals and humans and are classified as biosafety level 4 viruses with case fatality rates between 40 and 75 percent, according to data from the World Health Organization (WHO). According to experts and authorities, the virus may be of particular concern due to the high mortality rates in humans that some members of the genus present, such as the Hendra (HeV) and Nipah (NiV) viruses, with fruit bats being the natural host of both viruses. The transmission of the virus from person to person has not yet been demonstrated, however, previous documents suggest that the virus can be transmitted between individuals. So far, none of those affected has a serious clinical picture, but they insist on continuing to monitor the evolution of the cases to act preventively. At the moment, there is no reason to panic with the evidence collected, but it has warned of the need to be alert, because the transfer of a virus from animals to humans can have “unpredictable results. In fact, from the Department of Diseases Infectious diseases of the Huashan Hospital, affiliated with Fudan University (China), call for calm, but admit that “the coronavirus will not be the last infectious disease that causes a pandemic”, since new infectious diseases “will have an impact every time greater in the daily life of human beings”.
