Batai-Chalovo virus

Batai - Chalovo virus belongs to the genus Bunyaviridae, family Bunyaviridae. Antigenic group – Bunyamwera. Ecological group – arboviruses. Pathogenicity for humans has not been established. The virus was first isolated in 1986 in Iran. It was named after the village of Batai and the town of Chalovo, where it was discovered.

The Batai–Chalovo virus is spherical and contains single-stranded RNA. It is transmitted through the bite of infected mosquitoes that carry it. Symptoms of infection may include fever, headache, muscle pain, fatigue and loss of appetite. However, since the virus's pathogenicity in humans has not been established, it does not cause disease in humans.

Currently, the Bataille–Chalovo virus is widespread in Africa, Asia and South America. It can cause illness in animals and humans, but is not particularly hazardous to human health. However, it may pose a threat to human health in areas where it is widespread.

To combat the Batai-Chalovo virus, it is necessary to carry out measures to control the spread of mosquitoes, as well as vaccinate the population against other arboviral infections.
