New Virus in China: There is a threat of epidemic once again in the world. Scientists in Wuhan, China have discovered a new virus, which is being called Mers (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome). This virus can spread from animals to humans and can be as dangerous as corona. As soon as the news of this new virus comes, fear has increased among the people because no one has forgotten the devastation of Korona epidemic.
How does this virus spread?
According to the researchers, the Mers virus enters human cells (cells) in the same way as corona used to perform viruses. This virus infects cells by connecting a particular protein in the body. This can cause this virus to spread rapidly and take the form of an epidemic.
Mers virus cases and deaths
According to the report, from 2012 to May 2024, about 2600 people were infected with the Mers virus. Of these, 36% of infected people died. This figure is very intimidating because the mortality rate from the corona virus was not so high. Most cases of this virus have been found in Saudi Arabia.
Wuhan lab and virus danger
The Wuhan Virology Institute is the place where research is done on the corona virus found in bats. It is said that the Korona virus was also leaked from this lab, which took away millions of lives all over the world. Now another dangerous virus has been found in this lab, which has increased anxiety in the world.
Corona virus destruction
Corona epidemic shook the whole world. The virus first emerged in the city of Wuhan, China in 2019 and soon spread to the whole world.
The Korona virus caused over 1.5 crore deaths. Most of the deaths occurred in Southeast Asia, Europe and America. According to WHO, 47 million deaths occurred, but the Indian government says the number was only 4.8 lakhs.
Is there a danger of epidemic again?
Mars virus getting the virus is a matter of concern as it can spread rapidly in humans. However, it is not yet clear whether the virus will become as dangerous as corona. Scientists are doing research on this, but it is necessary to take precaution so that another epidemic can be avoided.
