Cat Florida called Bieber brings to the house an unprecedented virus-for the second time

Last year, Pepper, a animal cat wandering in the backyard of Gainesville, Florida, helped a scientist in discovering a new viral breed. Now, the Frame cats have returned again.

In a new study, scientists again discovered a strange virus that afflicts the dead rodents that caught pepper. This time, the Pepper Fish Cup helped researchers to determine an unknown breed of bone orthodontic virus, a type of virus that affects humans and other mammals. The results are published, and the full virus is in the magazine Microbiology messages.

John Lydniki, the owner of Bieber and the author of the main study, is the microbiologist in the University of Florida and Hunts viruses like pepper fishing rodents. It has been done LEDNICY who brought fresh Peppper to the laboratory to test.

His analysis revealed that the rodents, which is from the short -tail Evergels, carries an unidentified breed of the orthopedic virus. These types of human viruses and other mammals can affect, but scientists still do not know much about their effects on humans. There were some rare cases of encephalitis, meningitis, gastritis and intestine associated with the virus in children. The new viral breed is officially known as “Gainesville Shrew Mammalian Orthoreovirus Type 3 Strain UF-1.”

Orthopedic viruses mutate quickly. It is very similar to the influenza virus, two types of urgent viruses can affect one host cell. This means that the virite strains tear their genomics inside the cell, creating a basic new virus.

Lydniki said in a statement.

Pepper The last contribution to science It was in May 2021, when he brought to the house a common cotton mouse carrying a kind of Jeilongvirus virus unlike in the United States unlike bone orthodontic viruses, the Jeilongvirus virus affects reptiles, fish and birds in addition to mammals. It can also cause a serious disease in humans. Which – which Ticket It was published last year.

Since then, Lednicky has also been working hard to define other new viruses. He adds that it is not very surprising to find a new viral breed, because viruses are shifting quickly. “I am not the first to say this, but basically, if you look, you will find, and for this reason we continue to find all these new viruses,” Ledniek said in a statement.

After that, researchers plan to continue studying the strange virus to understand whether it is a threat to humans and pets. But the virus did not pose any threat to pepper, at least, no signs of the disease appeared and out of field work again.

“This was an opportunistic study,” Lednish said in a statement. “If you come across a dead animal, then why don’t you test it instead of burying it only? There is a lot of information that can be acquired.”
