Even in Thailand, we will adapt to live with COVID that evolves to different species. and is becoming an endemic or seasonal disease making it start to return to almost normal life after the policy of opening the country Tourism is the leading actor in driving the economy. However, it cannot be denied that Thai society Still annoyed and frightened by this kind of silent death.
However, COVID has caused Thai society and the world society to learn and watch out for important health matters. recently There is news from the Medical Genome Center. Asking questions about being ready to receive a new virus after COVID or not?
which such type of virus Named “Langya virus,” one of the members of the henipavirus family may replace the COVID-19 virus. It was detected in patients with fever in eastern China. on August 2022
Facebook page of the Genome Center According to the publication, Dr Ariel Isaacs and Dr Yu Chang Low, researchers from the School of Chemistry and Molecular Biosciences at the University of Queensland, Australia, published their findings in a medical journal. “Nature Communications” this month (June 2023) pointed out that there is a very high risk of “Langya virus”. In the less well-known henipa group There is going to be a massive epidemic in humans. although no human-to-human transmission has yet been found But instead, there was an increasing frequency of animal-to-human transmission of the Lungya virus and its members. And if only a few mutations in the genome cause the viral spines to bind better to human cells, it will allow the langya virus to transcend from animals to infect humans. As with the 2019-CoV-2 in the past, the Medical Genome Center at Ramathibodi Hospital has prepared mass array genotyping to detect the virus from the specimen.
The article also states that The World Health Organization (WHO) and scientists around the world expect the next global infectious disease threat. In addition to the COVID-19 virus new strains or avian influenza viruses It could be the Hannipa virus group. These include Langya, Mòjiāng, Nipah and Hendra viruses.
for the virus It is a viral disease transmitted from animals to humans. First identified in 35 farmers in China’s Shandong and Henan provinces in 2022, the Lungya virus belongs to the family. Paramyxoviridae, as well as Mojiang virus, Hendra virus and Nipah virus The death rate of infected people is higher than 70%. It is a virus whose genome is “RNA”. When infected, it causes fever and severe respiratory symptoms. And can lead to pneumonia that can be fatal. Like COVID-19 by the virus found infection in mammals such as humans, dogs, goats
It is expected that the original nesting animal is small rodent-like mammal There is a long pointed mouth (shrews), but there are no reports of deaths due to the virus. And the virus has not been found to be transmitted from person to person. However, researchers have warned that This is not the first time that the Langya virus has spread to humans. This virus is relatively new to humans. that could create a global health emergency Similar to the corona virus that spreads to humans all over the world. There is currently no cure or vaccine for this group of viruses. The researchers are working on ways to develop vaccines and drugs against this virus. and the World Health Organization to monitor a wide range of outbreaks Following the warnings, the researchers said. These viruses can cause serious diseases that have the potential to run out of control. If we are not properly prepared
As for the reports of illnesses of people infected with Langya virus, the infection was in contact with small rodents, with respiratory symptoms such as fever, cough and fatigue. No deaths have been reported yet.
However, it is believed that relevant agencies must monitor and monitor. to prepare for for Thai people aware but not alarmed
