Virus Alfay

The Alphafil virus is a small RNA-containing microbial body with a diameter of 25-28 nm.

It was first identified in 2004 in three patients in an intensive care hospital in Italy. In 2013, the virus was detected in three more Italians. Currently, it is known about the possible existence of 6 genetic variants of the alphaphila A virus. It can be associated in patients with respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal and other diseases. However, the clinical picture in infected people is most often absent; the disease is more common among the young population, in children, pregnant women and healthy individuals. Virions have tropism for epithelial cells of the lungs, trachea and bronchi, liver, spleen, and nervous system. The genome of the virus consists of single-stranded RNA, the nucleotide composition of which ranges from 6 to 8 billion nucleoside pairs; it encodes six individual proteins (capsid, envelope, non-structural proteins) and one mucopolysaccharide shell of the virus. The spread of infection occurs through inhalation of aerosols from the oral mucosa or

Alphavirus virus is a group of viruses belonging to the genus Flavivirus of the Togaviridae family of the Alphavirus subfamily. About 50 representatives of this family are known. Currently, only 4 viruses belong to this family, of which two types are coxsackieviruses (monkeypox and parainfluenza), and another 2 types are neotraditional viruses. Coxsackie-like viruses occur naturally and cause dangerous diseases.
