(AFP) – August 11, 2022<\/p>\n

Dozens of people in China have fallen ill with a new virus that is also found in shrews, a report has said, but there is so far no evidence of human-to-human transmission.<\/p>\n

The infections were found in China’s eastern Shandong and central Henan provinces, affecting 35 people, according to a report in the New England Journal of Medicine this month.<\/p>\n

The virus is called Langya henipavirus or LayV, and patients reported symptoms that include fever, fatigue, cough, nausea and headaches.<\/p>\n

Some people also developed blood cell abnormalities and impaired liver and kidney functions, the report said.<\/p>\n

Research findings suggested shrews may be a natural reservoir for the pathogen.<\/p>\n

“There was no close contact or common exposure history among the patients, which suggests that the infection in the human population may be sporadic,” according to the report.<\/p>\n

But it also cautioned that its sample size “was too small to determine the status of human-to-human transmission for LayV”.<\/p>\n

Patients were mostly farmers and cases were found with help from a detection system for people with acute fever and a history of animal exposure, it added.<\/p>\n

Further investigation is needed to better understand illnesses associated with the virus, according to the researchers in China, Singapore and Australia who were involved in the paper.<\/p>\n
