Scientists are following a novel virus originating from animals that infected at least dozens of humans in eastern China.
The new Langya henipavirus (LayV) was identified in 35 individuals from the provinces of Shandong and Henan. Many had symptoms like fever, exhaustion, and a cough.
It is believed that they caught the virus from animals. There is yet no indication that LayV can transfer between people.
Researchers discovered the virus mostly in voles.
The result was emphasized in a letter written by Chinese, Singaporean, and Australian experts and published this month in the New England Journal of Medicine.
One of the researchers, Wang Linfa of the Duke-NUS Medical School in Singapore, told China's state-run Global Times that the instances of LayV discovered as yet have not been deadly or very severe, so there is "no need to fear."
