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

Hendra virus (HeV) is a member of the family Paramyxoviridae and one of two virus species in the genus Henipavirus (the other being Nipah virus). Transmission of Hendra virus to humans can occur after exposure to body fluids and tissues or excretions of horses infected with Hendra virus. After an incubation of 9-16 days, infection with Hendra virus can lead to respiratory illness with severe flu-like signs and symptoms. Although infection with Hendra virus is rare, the case fatality is hig

Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) is a group of clinically similar illnesses caused by hantaviruses from the family Bunyaviridae. HFRS includes Korean hemorrhagic fever, epidemic hemorrhagic fever, and nephropathia epidemica. The viruses that cause HFRS include Hantaan, Dobrava, Saaremaa,Seoul, and Puumala. Hantaviruses are carried and transmitted by rodents.Symptoms of HFRS usually develop within 1 to 2 weeks after exposure to infectious material. Initial symptoms begin suddenly

Leptospirosis is a bacterial disease caused by bacteria of the genusLeptospira. It affects humans and animals and is most commonly found in temperate or tropical climates. Leptospiras are found in a wide variety of animal species, primarily rats and pigs, which may continue to excrete bacterium into the environment continuously. Millions of people are infected each year worldwide, but information and treatment can be limited. Mild cases may have a self-limited fever, while severe cases may

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

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

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

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
