Emerging Threat: New RNA Virus Found in Human Neurons
Researchers have identified a new RNA virus, named Apocryptovirus odysseus, which has been linked to severe neurological inflammation in humans infected with Toxoplasma gondii. This discovery, made by an international team led by the University of Cambridge, highlights the complex interactions between pathogens and their hosts. The virus was found to exacerbate symptoms in patients with pre-existing infections, leading to heightened concerns about its potential impact on public health. Further studies are needed to understand the transmission mechanisms and develop effective treatments or preventive measures.
