The terrible warning of health chiefs – 4 virus already wandering can trigger the next pandema
British health chiefs issued a sharp warning about 24 deadly viruses that can trigger the next ‘disease X, which is a frequently used term to describe the criminal behind the next pandem.
The UK Health Safety Agency (UKHSA), the most deadly diseases, ‘Covid’ much more dangerous, including a measles -like virus, including the currently circulating to four pathogeny.
A leading scientist warned that the list contains viruses that may be impossible to control even with the most strict locking.
This is the concern that the government has announced that a reference document to be constantly updated to keep scientists and researchers up to date with the latest threats.
A worrying pathogen is the Picornaviridae family, which triggers children’s paralysis -like diseases.
An example is a virus called acute drooping myelitis (AFM), a rare condition that causes muscle weakness and paralysis.
The BBC reported that a 15 -year -old child from Rochdale was stroke in January in January.
Health chiefs also warned that the viruses of the Paramyxoviridae family may also have the potential for pandemic.
The UK Health Safety Agency (UKHSA) data shows that there is a case of 1,603 suspected measles in the UK and Wales in 2023. This figure is more than twice the 735 recorded in 2022 and twice a almost five -storey rise compared to 360 cases reported in 2021.
These include measles, mumps and some respiratory infections, as well as Nipah virus that can spread from bats or pigs to humans and cause brain swelling and death.
As the vaccine rates decreased, the worldwide great measles outbreaks have already been reported.
Last year, 2,911 measles in the UK confirmed – the highest number recorded since 2012.
The complications of fatal disease, which often affect children, may contain pneumonia, eye inflammation and vision loss and brain inflammation, which may cause seizures, hearing loss and brain damage.
Other viruses with the authorities ‘watch’ include coronaviruses such as Covid-19 and Mersin, which has killed more than 900 so far – mostly in the Middle East.
It is also a threat of worrying bird flu – part of the Pathogen family of Ortomyxoviridae.
The virus that jumps among the species was detected in an British farmer known to contact infected birds.
Meanwhile, the disease claimed the first human sacrifice in the US in January with a 65 -year -old child with underlying health conditions exposed to wild birds.
Bird flu was detected yesterday in a sheep in North England – the first known case of the world in the world.

Professor of Infectious Disease at Edinburgh University Mark Woolhouse, Mirror Scientists are most interested in a measles type virus.
“ A new measles -like virus, Covid creates a much worse threat ‘he said.
‘Such a virus would have a much higher number of R in Covid’s original variants – which made it impossible to control it with the most strict locking.’
A number of R shows an average number of people in an infected person to pass to a virus.
“This is a epidemic of the most concern of public health institutions around the world,” he added.
It has been shown that measles cases have been shown to have erased the memory of our immune systems, so a major epidemic may see a national increase in other infections.
The 2019 Harvard Medical School showed that measles have erased up to 75 percent of antibodies that protect a child against viruses or bacteria with which they had previously immune.
At the end of January, a patient in Midlands was diagnosed with H5N1 after a large number of infected birds close and long -term contact.
Professor Isabel Oliver, Ukhsa’s scientific responsible, said that the virus list is a tool that emphasizes how the research can aim to increase the preparation of the UK against health threats.
‘We use the tool as part of the scientific community to focus on the place where investment can have the biggest impact.
‘This will help to accelerate the development of vaccine and diagnosis that is the most needed vaccine and diagnostic development to ensure that we are completely prepared in our struggle against deadly pathogens.’
In September 2019, Public Health, which is currently disappearing, also reported that the increase in antibiotic resistance of bacteria may turn into a potential disease.
