Issue of the day: Zoonotic viruses still emerging


 
Two new viruses?
In the first instance, China has reported its first known human infection with the ‘Monkey B Virus’ (BV), after a 53-year-old biomedical researcher from Beijing became infected following his dissection of two dead monkeys in March.
 
He died?
The man, who worked in a primate breeding facility, began feeling nauseous and vomiting a month later, developing a fever and neurological issues. He died on May 27, although the Chinese Centre for Disease Control (China CDC) has only just confirmed this, adding that two of his close contacts have tested negative.
 
The virus is rare?
Also known as ‘herpes B’, the virus, is common among macaque monkeys, but is rare in humans, with less than 100 reported human infections since the first case of primate-to-human transmission in 1932, when a researcher was bitten on the hand by a seemingly healthy macaque, but died 15 days later.

The Monkey B virus, or herpes B virus, is prevalent among macaque monkeys, but extremely rare and often deadly when it spreads to humans.
A man in China has died after contracting a rare infectious disease from primates, known as the Monkey B virus, Chinese health officials revealed in a report Saturday. The victim, a 53-year-old veterinarian based in Beijing, was the first documented human case of the virus in China.
According to the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the man worked in a research institute that specialized in nonhuman primate breeding and dissected two dead monkeys in March. He experienced nausea, vomiting and fever a month later, and died May 27. His blood and saliva samples were sent to the center in April, where researchers found evidence of the Monkey B virus. Two of his close contacts, a male doctor and ....
