Besides Covid, the World Has Another Virus to Fear!

After dealing and fighting with the deadly Coronavirus pandemic for over a couple of years the world had started to come to normal situations. A few nations are on their path to the pre-Covid days. Many nations across the globe have lifted travel restrictions for passengers coming from other countries.
As one more danger to the world, the researchers have found a new virus that is believed to be a tick-borne illness. The virus was detected in the United States, which is the severely affected nation with the Covid outbreak.
Going by the information and data shared by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the virus named Heartland virus was reported from as many as five states in the United States.
Though the virus was reported from just five states, many fear that the virus might have the potential to be a deadly virus. The reason for the fear is that the virus comes with symptoms like fever, headache, joint pains, lack of appetite, and diarrhea.
The virus is not a new one. The heartland virus is a known virus to mankind as it kept on contacting humans since 2009. Detected for the first time in 2009, the virus kept on infecting the humans at regular intervals. The last time the virus was detected was in 2021. In less than one year the virus had surfaced for one more time.
The researchers who conducted a study on the virus said that the infection is emerging rapidly and the lack of understanding we have towards the virus makes it dangerous and we cannot take the virus for granted.
Providing more data on the research, the researchers said that they are giving their best in understanding the virus as much as they can to get a clear picture of its impact on humans.
With the virus surfacing regularly, Emory's Department of Environmental Sciences is conducting a detailed study to have a better understanding of the virus. For the study, ticks from a few nations were collected by the researchers, and the samples of the ticks were also sent to the labs. More details are awaited.
