Teylera Virus

Theiler's virus (TT-V) is a family of viruses that cause diseases of the central nervous system in humans and animals. This virus belongs to the group of neuroviruses, meaning it affects the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves.

Theiler viruses were discovered in 1985 by Australian scientist Tom Theiler, who discovered them in the cerebrospinal fluid of people with yellow fever. He named them after himself and his discovery.

There are several types of tailer viruses, the best known of which is TT-V, which can be transmitted through the saliva of infected mice. TT-Vi can also infect people, but only through blood transfusions between people or the transfusion of fluids containing blood.

A thailer's infection means inflammation of the central nervous system, which manifests itself as neurological symptoms such as headache, nausea, fatigue and problems with motor coordination. Some patients develop encephalitis or encephalomyelitis, which causes progressive destruction of the brain and leads to more serious health consequences.

There is no treatment for Tayler virus, but certain medications or vaccines can be used to prevent transmission of the virus. There is also constant monitoring of the health status of people exposed to the risk of infection with the tailer virus.

Although worms primarily cause brain disease in humans, they also exist in animals and can be spread through contact with infected animals or animal products.
