  • Then, they used the tool to rank 887 wildlife viruses, including some that are already zoonotic (meaning they've hopped from animals to people, including Ebola and SARS-CoV-2) and others that haven't yet jumped from animals to people. (livescience.com)
  • It's little surprise that farmed deer would catch the virus from people. (cnn.com)
  • Sewage has been found to carry the virus, so polluted water might be a source, he added, or people spitting or contaminating the environment in other ways. (cnn.com)
  • While the virus could mutate , for now, the biggest concern for people appears to be whether the prices of eggs, chicken and turkey will rise. (ibtimes.com)
  • Mpox virus can spread to people when bitten by an animal infected with mpox or when they touch the blood, body fluids, or lesions of an infected animal or person. (health.mil)
  • What's harder to see are climate change's effects on the spread of disease: on the mosquito that carries a virus, or the pathogenic bacteria on a piece of fruit. (cfr.org)

  • Antimicrobial resistance happens when microorganisms (such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites) change when they are exposed to antimicrobial drugs such as antibiotics. (who.int)
  • How is the virus spread? (cdc.gov)
  • A rodent's bite can also spread the virus. (cdc.gov)
  • OHSU experts say the rare virus doesn't spread as easily as COVID-19 or respiratory viruses. (ohsu.edu)
  • OHSU experts say that casual contact, such as a handshake, is highly unlikely to spread the virus. (ohsu.edu)
  • Health chiefs in Utah say there is 'no risk' the virus has been spread to others, while in New York City the one contact to an infected person officials were following up with tested negative. (dailymail.co.uk)
  • The deer may then spread the virus to one another. (cnn.com)
  • Instead, the viruses are more often spread in aerosolized bits of the rodent's infected fecal matter, Han told Live Science. (livescience.com)
  • The virus is most easily spread through open contact with the sores of an infected individual. (nationalinterest.org)
  • It can also spread through contact with materials that have the virus on them, such as shared bedding and clothing. (nationalinterest.org)
