Pandemic Fears Are Raised By A New Virus Found In Alabama

Spread the love

The Camp Hill virus, a henipavirus, has been detected in Alabama shrews, marking its first U.S. appearance. While no human infections have occurred, scientists worry about potential transmission, as similar viruses like Nipah and Hendra have fatality rates up to 75%.

Henipaviruses can cause severe illness, including “brain inflammation and seizures.” The Camp Hill virus, previously found in Australian fruit bats, may now be spreading among North American wildlife, increasing the risk of outbreaks.

Researchers are analyzing its genetic material to assess its impact and explore vaccine development. The discovery highlights concerns about “potential future outbreaks,” especially with its presence in common animals.
