The world is still troubled by the new Corona virus Covid-19, which came out last year, at the same time another new virus has emerged. Evidence of its infection from human to human has also been found. The Centers for Disease Control of America has confirmed this. There have been reported cases of infection in Bolivia. This results in fever, which is likely to cause brain haemorrhage. It is much like Ebola, which was considered dangerous, although it was soon overcome.
According to scientists, the name of this virus is – Chapre Virus. Actually, the origin of this virus was seen in the Chapare area of Bolivia in the year 2004. According to a report by Live Science, the CDC said that in 2019, three out of five people who were affected by this infection were health workers, out of which two died.
According to the report, Colin Carlson, a researcher at Georgetown University, said that a hemorrhagic fever like Ebola spreads very hard like a corona or flu. This is because symptoms of hemorrhagic fever usually appear immediately after infection and the infection is spread from one person to another by direct contact with the infected. But if it takes the form of an epidemic, it can devastate the medical system. Many health workers get sick while treating patients.
Most patients get treatment with intravenous fluids due to lack of specific treatment for the infection. On Monday, the research of the arc virus has been presented in the annual meeting of the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene.
