Edge Hill Virus

Edge Hill virus (Flavivirus) is a member of the Togaviridae family, which belongs to the ecological group of arboviruses. It is one of the most dangerous viruses that can cause serious illness in humans and animals.

The Edge Heal virus has antigenic group B and its pathogenicity for humans has not yet been established. This means it can cause illness in humans, but is not fatal.

Symptoms of Edge Heal virus disease may include fever, headache, muscle aches, fatigue, cough and runny nose. In severe cases, breathing problems, heart failure and other serious complications may occur.

Treatment for Edge Heel virus includes the use of antiviral drugs such as interferon alfa and ribavirin. Antibiotics may also be used to fight secondary infections.

To prevent the disease, it is necessary to follow the rules of hygiene and avoid contact with animals that may be carriers of the virus. It is also important to get regular medical checkups and see a doctor if symptoms appear.

Annotation:

Edghill viruses are a group of pathogens that pose a serious danger to humans and animals. These viruses belong to the togavirus family, arbor-type viruses. They are distributed in different regions of the world, including Africa, South America and others.

*Causative agent of the Edghill virus* Pathogens of the genus Flavoviruses of the Togavirus family. Single-celled viruses with sizes ranging from 40 x 12 nm to 150 x 200 nm. have a characteristic shape in the form of a ring, consisting of central thread-like and radial convolutions. They have RNA in single-stranded and double-stranded forms. Bats are often affected. May cause the development of pondermal syndrome. They affect birds and humans. Some strains are pathogenic (eg Langat disease) or moderately pathogenic. The virus may also be related to the development of tick-borne encephalitis. The source of infection - a sick person - is a biological transmission factor. A patient with an infection is contagious at the end of the incubation period (from 1 to -4 days) and until the end of the first 2 weeks from the onset of the disease. The epidemic rise of the disease can be complicated if, with a milder course, those recovering are discharged to work before clinical and biological convalescence. This leads to the rapid spread of the virus among healthy individuals, which itself causes an outbreak of the disease. The disease develops 5-6 days after infection, but with the natural route of infection, the incubation period lasts up to two weeks, and the latent period is 4-7 months (sometimes up to a year). There are cases of asymptomatic progression. The most typical episode of the disease is a general, prolonged high temperature and its fluctuations with periods of improvement followed by a sharp exacerbation. Temperature is higher at night than during the day.
