The Langya henipavirus, which can be transmitted from animals to humans, has been discovered in China, with 35 human infections reported so far, Taiwan’s Centers for Disease Control (CDC) said, adding that the nation would establish a nucleic acid testing method to identify the virus.
A study titled “A Zoonotic Henipavirus in Febrile Patients in China” that was published in the New England Journal of Medicine on Thursday said that a new henipavirus associated with a fever-causing human illness was identified in China.
The study said an investigation identified 35 patients with acute infection of the Langya henipavirus in China’s Shandong and Henan provinces, and that 26 of them were infected with the Langya virus only, with no other pathogens.
The 26 patients developed symptoms including fever (100 percent), fatigue (54 percent), a cough (50 percent), loss of appetite (50 percent), muscle pain (46 percent), nausea (38 percent), headache (35 percent) and vomiting (35 percent).
They also showed a decrease in white blood cells (54 percent), low platelet count (35 percent), liver failure (35 percent) and kidney failure (8 percent).
When asked for confirmation, CDC Deputy Director-General Chuang Jen-hsiang (莊人祥) on Sunday that said according to the study, human-to-human transmission of the virus has not been reported, and that a serological survey of domestic animals found 2 percent of the tested goats and 5 percent of the tested dogs were positive.

Here we go again. Just in time.
Not to worry, that evil dwarf Fauxi and the PLA level 4 biolab in Wuhan are working to perfect the jump!
These things used to come out of Africa......interesting they’re now popping up in Chinaland.
“Here we go again. Just in time.”
Ironic, no?
Mainland Chia has always been a source of pandemics. The flu is one that comes to mind.
“These things used to come out of Africa......interesting they’re now popping up in Chinaland.”
China has pretty much colonized Africa.
The world hates CHINA
If it’s not viruses it’s invasive species.
How about telling them to F off and isolate them again?
Might take awhile though...
In Africa they are naturally occurring. In China they are naturally lab manufactured.
Oh boy. Those pesky Chinese are at it again!
Oh good God.

"Test results from 25 wild animal species suggest that the shrew might be a natural reservoir of the Langya henipavirus,
as the virus was found in 27 percent of the shrew subjects, he said.
Chuang said the 35 patients in China did not have close contact with each other or a common exposure history,
and contact tracing showed no viral transmission among close contacts and family, suggesting that human infections might be sporadic."(Emphasis mine)
Why Taiwan? It’d be “shrewd” of Taiwan to tell China to develop their own test. Or apologize for their recent temper tantrum and promise to never blockade Taiwan again.
They misspelled “created.”
OK, I'm here.Bring Out Your Dead
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
The false positive rate was 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
Quarantine the sick. Protect the vulnerable. Hang the guilty. Free everyone else.
Heh
rest of world has moved on since covid while China is still in lockdowns. So chicoms have to introduce a new virus to destroy western economies. This will continue until chicoms are ousted.
It’s not surprising given China is running a bio-weapon development program and they are sloppy as usual.
