What is inflammation, a virus transmitted by rodents that can cause serious illnesses?
An outbreak on a ship that departed from Ushuaia has left several dead and has once again drawn attention to this zoonotic disease.
Inflammation is a group of viruses transmitted by rodents that can cause serious diseases in humans, not by insects, but by contact with the urine, feces, or saliva of infected animals, or by inhaling contaminated particles.
This zoonotic virus can cause severe respiratory or kidney pictures, and the initial symptoms are usually similar to flu: fever, muscle pain, and fatigue, among others. Although interpersonal contagion is very rare, infection can evolve seriously.
The virus has recently been detected on a cruise from the polar expedition from Ushuaia, where three people have died and another is in serious condition. The ship remains anchored in Cape Verde while the cases are being investigated.
