Entry of new Chinese virus Cat-Que in India

India is in the middle of deadly pandemic origins of which have been traced back to a wet seafood market in China. While there is reported evidence that the SARS-Cov2 the virus originated in a Chinese lab. 

China is turning to be a factory of new viruses after Covid-19. A new virus Cat-Que could be another virus that could put lives in danger. The fear of the viral spread has also alerted medical officials. Experts from ICMR have also sounded off an alarm after finding evidence of antibodies related to the viral strain in India. Trouble began when scientists from the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) found some antibodies in two of the 883 human samples tested across different states in India. The antibodies were associated with the infectious Cat-Que virus proving that the virus could have possibly infected some people at a point of time. Prior, the study was undertaken by the ICMR in the year 2017. However, a repeated resurgence in some Asian countries has made experts worry the mysterious Cat-Que virus is a type of virus that is known to infect both animals such as mosquitoes pigs as well as humans. 

Symptoms and mode of transmission:

It is said that the virus could lead to scary symptoms like high fever, meningitis and pediatric encephalitis. This virus is routinely seen in swine in districts of China and Vietnam, while the infection normally spreads in poultry and mammals. It could also spread to humans through transmission from mosquitoes and insects according to ICMR in India. Certain mosquito breeds such as Culex are more at risk and can act as a medium for further transmission. CQV is a virus of the genus Orthobunyavirus, which has 49 species and 19 serogroup complexes. Further, CQV itself belongs to the ‘Simbu’ serogroup. Scientists have also suggested that the traces of the infection found in mammals like swine are wild.
