H5N2 is a subtype of the species Influenzavirus A, which is further classified by subtype on the basis of the two main surface glycoproteins hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA). The subtype H5N2 infects a wide variety of birds, including chickens, ducks, turkeys, falcons, and ostriches. Outbreaks of "high-path" H5N2 result in the culling of thousands of birds in poultry farms from time to time. It appears that people who work with birds can be infected by the virus but suffer hardly a

Avian influenza A(H7N9) is a subtype of influenza viruses detected in birds in the past.This particular A(H7N9) virus had not previously been seen in either animals or people until it was found in March 2013 in China, which caused severe respiratory disease in more than 400 humans, of whom more than 100 died. Animal influenza viruses are distinct from human seasonal influenza viruses and do not easily transmit between humans. However, zoonotic influenza viruses - animal influenza viruses t

Monkeypox is caused by infection with the monkeypox virus, and it belongs to the Orthopoxvirus genus in the family Poxviridae. The Orthopoxvirus genus also includes variola virus (which causes smallpox), vaccinia virus (used in the smallpox vaccine), and cowpox virus. In humans, the symptoms of monkeypox are similar to but milder than the symptoms of smallpox. The Bioperfectus Monkeypox Virus/Varicella-zoster Virus/Variola Virus Real Time PCR Kit is an in vitro diagnostic test based on rea

Monkeypox virus is an enveloped double-stranded DNA virus that belongs to the Orthopoxvirusgenus of thePoxviridaefamily. It can be transmitted through contact with bodily fluids, lesions on the skin, or internal mucosal surfaces.There are two distinct genetic clades of the monkeypox virus: the central African (Congo Basin) clade and the west African clade. The Congo Basin clade has historically caused more severe disease and was thought to be more transmissible. The Bioperfectus Monkeypox

Marburg virus is an RNA virus belonging to the family Filovirus. Marburg Haemorrhagic Fever is a natural epidemic infection by the infected patients and animals. The epidemic has no apparent seasonality and is mainly distributed, but the outbreak in families, hospitals, and communities. Symptoms may include fever, headache, abdominal pain, diarrhea, shock, hemorrhage, and multiple organ decompensation syndromes. The disease is highly contagious and develops faster and heavier; the mortality ra

Ebola virus disease (EVD), formerly known as Ebola hemorrhagic fever, is a severe, often fatal illness affecting humans and other primates. The virus is transmitted to people from wild animals (such as fruit bats, porcupines and non-human primates) and then spreads in the human population through direct contact with the blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected people, and with surfaces and materials contaminated with these fluids. The average EVD case fatality rate is aroun

Monkeypox is a rare disease caused by infection with the monkeypox virus. Monkeypox virus belongs to the Orthopoxvirus genus in the family Poxviridae. The Orthopoxvirus genus also includes variola virus (which causes smallpox), vaccinia virus (used in the smallpox vaccine), and cowpox virus. Monkeypox was first discovered in 1958 when two outbreaks of a pox-like disease occurred in colonies of monkeys kept for research, hence the name monkeypox. In humans, the symptoms of monkeypox are similar

There are four types of influenza (flu) viruses:A, B, C and D. Wild aquatic birds, including gulls, terns, and shorebirds, and wild waterfowl, such as ducks, geese and swans are considered reservoirs (hosts) for avian influenza A viruses. Avian influenza A viruses are classified into the following two categories: low pathogenicity avian influenza (LPAI) A viruses, and highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A viruses. Highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses cause severe disease and high

Monkeypox virus is a virus that is transmitted from animals to humans.It is an Orthopoxvirus, a genus of the family Poxviridae that contains other viral species that target mammals. Animal-to-human (zoonotic) transmission can occur from direct contact with the blood, bodily fluids, or cutaneous or mucosal lesions of infected animals.Human-to-human transmission can result from close contact with respiratory secretions, skin lesions of an infected person, or recently contaminated objects. The in

The monkeypox virus is a double-stranded DNA virus from the same family Poxviridae as the variola virus. Humans are infected with the monkeypox virus mainly through bites by infected animals or direct contact with blood, body fluid, and lesion exudate of infected animals. The virus is often transmitted from animals to humans and occasionally from humans to humans. Main clinical manifestations include high fever, headache, back pain, general malaise, cough, and lymphadenectasis, with generalize
