China covid new variant; HKU5-Cov-2 Virus Symptoms | OutBreak and Cases | Sehthanama- How dangerous the bat virus found in China: It attacks like Kovid-19, can an epidemic spread again in the world?

Sugar Scientists have detected the new strain of the corona virus. It can spread to humans with bats. The name of this new strain is HKU-5-Cov-2. Only a few of the corona virus can infect humans. One of these is HKU-5. This information has been revealed in a study published in Scientific Journal ‘Cell’.

The method of infection of this virus is similar to the Kovid-19. That is why people are afraid that it should not become the cause of new epidemic in the world. Therefore, scientists are saying that we have to be cautious and be ready for the outbreak of Corona.

India is a neighboring country of China and there is a lot of movement between the two countries. Even during the outbreak of Kovid-19, India had to bear the brunt of this. Now this fear is also about the new strain HKU-5.

so ‘Sehthanama‘I will talk about new strain of corona virus today. Will also know that-

Question: What is HKU-5-Cov-2 Strain (Bat Virus)?

answer: HKU-5-Cov-2 is the new strain of the corona virus. It can spread to humans through bats. Recently Chinese scientists have discovered this. The virus enters humans’ cells through Ace2 receptor.

There are lots of receptors at the help of cells. These are like locks on the cell of the cell, which open some dangerous viruses and enter the cells. This means that viruses that can enter humans’ cells can infect humans.

What is this receptor, Dr. Ali Sher is telling-

Question: How different is the new strain from the Strain with Kovid-19?

answer: Both of these strain have many similarities. HKU-5-Cov-2 and Sars-Cov-2 are both members of the Beta-CORONISS group. This means that both are part of the same family. Both strain can spread to humans with bats. Both enter human cells through Ace2 receptors.

The difference between them is that HKU-5 is not currently as dangerous as Kovid-19 because its transition rate is not as fast as SARS-COV-2.

Question: Can the new strain of the corona virus create an epidemic situation again?

answer: HKU-5 is currently so new to the corona virus that there is not much information about it. After Kovid-19, many new strain of Corona virus have been revealed, but no virus has proved to be so fatal or contagious.

Question: Has any of its cases have been found so far in India?

answer: No, no case of HKU-5-Cov-2 strain has been registered in India.

Question: HKU-5 is yet to spread in which countries?

answer: The new strain of Corona virus has been detected in bats in China and so far no evidence of its infection has been found in humans. The first case of this strain was found in a Japanese species bats in Hong Kong.

During research in the lab, it is revealed that this new strain of Corona virus can also spread to humans. However, so far no case has been seen in humans.

Question: What are scientists saying about HKU-5?

answer: Research has been done on this new strain of the Corona virus led by famous virologist Xi Zhengali at the Gwangzhu Laboratory of China. He says that HKU-5 can only pose a threat of transition to humans from animals and birds.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has already included Merbecovirus in the list of potential epidemic. HKU-5-Cov-2 belongs to this Merbecovirus Group. Therefore, scientists also keep an eye on this.

Question: What has the Health Authorities of India said about this strain?

answer: Indian health officials have not released any official statement about HKU-5-Cov-2. However, it is a matter of relief that this virus has recently been discovered in bats in China and its infection has not spread in humans yet. Indian Health Department and scientific institutions are constantly monitoring the new strain of this emerging corona virus.

Question: What can be the possible symptoms of HKU-5-Cov-2?

answer: The HKU-5-Cov-2 virus is related to the Middle East Respiratory syndrome (Mers) corona virus. Therefore, doctors estimate that its symptoms may also be similar to Mers.

This can cause problems like fever, cough, fatigue, sneezing, shiver, hunger, breathlessness, diarrhea and nausea.

Question: Is the vaccine of Kovid-19 effective on this?

answer: Currently, HKU-5-Cov-2 virus is very new for the whole world. From now on it is very difficult to say whether the vaccine of Covid-19 will prove to be effective against HKU-5.

However, research in the lab has been revealed so far that some antiviral drugs and monoclonal antibodies can prove to be effective against this new virus. In the coming time, how it will be mutated and how much its nature will change, it will be known only after some time.

Question: How can HKU-5-Cov-2 spread to humans?

answer: This virus can spread to humans in two ways:

Direct transition- If a person comes in contact with infected bats or fluids of their body such as saliva, urine or stool, then this virus can infect it.

Through another animal- This virus can first spread to another animal and then reach humans from it. The strain of the previous several corona viruses spread like this.

Question: What can we do to protect against HKU-5-Cov-2?

answer: So far, no case of infection of HKU-5-Cov-2 has been found in humans. Despite this, some precautions can be adopted to avoid infection. For this, precautions have to be taken like Covid-19-

If the World Health Organization, ICMR or the Government of India release guidelines for new strain of virus, then follow it.
