Doctor: There is a risk of human-to-human transmission of this virus
span>
“This virus is more common in wild animals, so outdoor grasses, insects in bushes, such as ticks, mosquitoes, fleas, etc., often become virus transmission vectors. “Department of Infectious Diseases of the First Hospital of Zhejiang University explained that ticks have long been parasitic on different animals. When ticks carry this virus, they bite pigs, cattle, sheep, cats, dogs, chickens, etc. These birds also become intermediate hosts, but they usually do not get sick. When other worms suck blood from these animals and then bite the human body, they will transmit the virus to the human population.
In addition to insect bites, human-to-human transmission of the novel bunya virus has also been found in clinical cases. span>“The blood and bloody secretions of acute patients and cadavers suffering from this disease are contagious, and direct contact with the blood or bloody secretions of patients can lead to infection. ”
The Department of Infectious Diseases of the First Hospital of Zhejiang University has also treated a family of six who died of a new type of Bunia virus because of the elderly in the family. The nursing family members are also unfortunately infected.
