The patients, mainly farmers, also reported fatigue, cough, loss of appetite and aches, with several developing blood-cell abnormalities and signs of liver and kidney damage. All survived.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Among the 35 patients, 26 were infected only with LayV, according to a report published in the New England Journal of Medicine. There was no evidence they had been in close contact or had a common exposure history, suggesting human infection may be sporadic, the researchers said.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Tests detected the virus in 27% of shrews, a known vector for similar henipaviruses, suggesting the small, furry mole-like mammals may be a natural reservoir, they said.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Further investigation is needed to better understand the infection, according to the researchers from Beijing, Singapore and Australia. Taiwan\u2019s Centers for Disease Control said it is paying attention to the report, and plans to start screening for the virus.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The spread of germs from animals to humans, called zoonosis, is common, accounting for more than six of every 10 known infectious diseases in people, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Most of the time they cause limited disease, dying out without having a major impact.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div id=\"m_-8921596034637218821yMail_cursorElementTracker_1660205779345\">In the aftermath of COVID-19, however, more tracking systems now are in place and picking up novel pathogens.<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the world continues to grapple with the scourge of COVID-19 that originated from China, a new virus identified as Langya henipavirus or LayV has hit the Asian giant.
