Les chauves-souris sont des réservoirs de virus parfois très dangereux pour les humains. Pour ce premier épisode de la quatrième saison de Nourrir le vivant, nous vous emmenons au Cambodge traquer le virus Nipah dans une colonie de chauves-souris qui vit à proximité des communautés rurales.
Nach dem Ausbruch 2023 in Indien ist #Nipah in den Fokus geraten. Was bedeuten Infektionen mit #Nipahviren und welche Maßnahmen sind bei Infektionsverdacht wichtig?
#RKI-Forscher Hendrik Wilking war zu Gast im AÖGW-Podcast "Wissenschaft trifft Praxis".
Nipah virus is a rare but deadly infectious disease affecting south and southeast Asia, and since August the Kerala state in India recorded six Nipah cases leading to two deaths.
Scientists fear a mutated, highly transmissible strain will emerge from #bats. Outbreaks are rare but #Nipah has been listed by the #WHO as one of several #diseases deserving of priority research for their potential to cause a global epidemic, alongside Ebola, Zika and #Covid19#NipahVirus
Indian authorities have instituted mass testing to halt the spread of the deadly Nipah virus, which has killed two people in the southern state of Kerala....

#Nipah has an exceptional high rate of mutation and there fears a strain more well adapted to human infections could spread rapidly across the well interconnected countries of South East Asia.

In Indien gibts grad wieder #Nipah-Fälle.
Nipah ist so'n bisschen wie #H5N1: wenn das mal anfängt, in größerem Stil unter Menschen zu zirkulieren, dann dampft die Kacke richtig. Das ist aber trotz vieler Gelegenheiten nicht passiert.
Und nu rätseln alle, ob das bisher Glück war, oder ob es das aus irgendwelchen Gründen einfach grundsätzlich nicht kann.
Das ist eine Rationale hinter Gain-of-Function-Forschung, mehr über mögliche (und unmögliche) Evolutionspfade zu erfahren.
