Candiru virus

Kandiru virus is a virus that belongs to the genus Bunyaviridae, family Bunyaviridae and the ecological group Arboviruses. It is one of the causative agents of human phlebothrombosis fever and has an antigenic group similar to mosquito fever.

The Candiru virus was first discovered in 1998 in Brazil, in the state of Parana, in the Rio de Janeiro River. It was named after a fish that was discovered in this river. The virus was named after a species of fish because it was found in its intestines.

This virus causes phlebothrombal fever, which is characterized by high fever, headache, muscle and joint pain, and other symptoms such as nausea and vomiting. This disease can be very dangerous for people, especially children and the elderly.

Antibiotics and antiviral drugs are used to treat phlebothrombal fever. However, if the disease is not treated on time, it can lead to serious consequences such as kidney failure or even death.

To prevent the spread of the Candiru virus, it is necessary to maintain good hygiene and not swim in rivers where there may be infected fish. It is also necessary to monitor the purity of the water and not use it for drinking without pre-treatment.

Description of the Kandiru virus.

Candira virus is a species of bacteria belonging to the genus Bunyavina. It is waterborne and can infect many species of fish.

The causative agent of a viral infection in humans is coxsackievirus, which belongs to the togaviridae family, which also includes the polio virus and some others.

_The virus has a method of transmission_

The main mechanism of transmission of this virus is the endogenous, oral route. An aerosol mode of transmission is also known, but it has not yet been proven.

Infection is only possible in water with a high density of parasites: for the virus to be effective, it needs to be close to wounds on the skin. A person who has taken a bath in such water is infectious several days later, while another individual may become ill only after a much longer period. Therefore, it is not yet possible to determine the main transmission route in the reptile population.

Natural hosts of the disease: fish of the carp family. Carrier of the virus. Under natural conditions, the natural host is most often juvenile roach. Infection of carnivorous or predatory fish, such as pike and perch, is much easier than that of rafts. For many years in Japan, roaches were the only object of research, but in 2005, results were obtained on roaches from Central America infected with the virus during the incubation period.

Sick fish show the following signs of damage: conjunctivitis, gelatinous reddened skin, enlarged lymph nodes, damaged scales, immobility.

Transmission from infected fish occurs during the embryonic period. The mortality rate in fry is almost always about 90%.

Experimental infection was carried out in both low-density and high-density fish. As can be seen from their research results, the rafts turned out to be more susceptible to infection, so we must consider the roach fish to be the true, natural carrier of the candiru virus, and the roach not, its secondary carrier.
