A new pathogen called Langya henipaviruses has been found inhrews.

Dozens of people in eastern China are known to have been exposed to a novel virus that may have been transmitted from animals to people.
LayV is one of the henipaviruses, which are usually found in fruit bats. The Hendra virus was first identified in Australia in 1994 and is known to cause illness. The Nipah virus was first discovered in 1999 in Malaysia. The infections have high death rates.
A group of researchers in China and Australia think LayV is related to Mojiang henipaviruses. Three men working in a copper mine in China died from Mojiang henipaviruses in 2012
A group of people with a recent history of being exposed to animals were being monitored in eastern China. A new henipaviruses was found in a throat sample.
Between December of last year and May of this year, 35 cases of LayV were found in people in eastern China.
In order to determine if LayV was the cause of their symptoms, the researchers only reported symptoms experienced by those who didn't show signs of another infection.
The 26 people all had a high temperature. The second most common symptom was fatigue, which was experienced by 54 percent of people.
38 per cent were nauseated, 35 per cent had a headaches, and a further 35 per cent had vomiting.
The insufficient number of pathogen-fighting white blood cells is referred to as leukopenia in some circles. A third of people had a low number of blood-clotting cells.
35 per cent and 8 per cent were affected by an impairedLiver orKidney function
There are 25 species of small wild animals. The survey found that more than a quarter of the shrews had some level of LayV in their system.
Four out of 81 dogs and three out of 168 goats were found to have the virus.
There was no evidence of close contact between the people. Contacts with 15 of the individuals' family members showed no LayV transmission. It is suggested that the virus doesn't come from person to person but from animal to person.
The sample size isn't large enough to rule out person-to- person transmission.
No deaths have been reported in people who have been exposed to the disease. Some of the people had pneumonia, but the researchers don't say how many or how bad it was.
LayV is unlikely to become a big problem because henipaviruses don't typically spread between people.
The only henipaviruses that have shown signs of human-to-human transmission is the Nipah virus. I don't think this has the potential to cause a large-scale outbreak.
Francois Balloux at University College London says that the fact that there have been very few cases suggests that the virus isn't spreading quickly. He says that the virus is not likely to be something that can easily be passed from person to person.
He says the most likely source of a future epidemic will be a Viruses that jump from animals to humans He says that most of the pathogens come from animals. For an event like covid-19, we should be better prepared. I think it will happen in the near future.
