Virus Thimbu

Timbu virus belongs to the ecological group of arboviruses, the antigenic group of which is called Timbu. This virus has no established pathogenicity for humans, but can cause disease in animals and birds.

Timbu virus has a spherical shape and size of about 25-30 nm. It consists of two helical RNA strands that are packaged into a capsid. Inside the capsid are proteins that play a role in the reproduction of the virus.

The main vectors of Timbu virus are mosquitoes such as Culex pipiens and Aedes aegypti. They become infected with the virus when they bite infected animals or birds and then pass it on to other mosquitoes.

Symptoms of timbou virus disease may include fever, headache, muscle weakness, fatigue and other general symptoms. However, since the pathogenicity of the virus in humans has not been established, there is no data on its effect on human health.

Various methods are used to control Timbu virus, including controlling mosquito populations, using insecticides, and vaccinating animals. However, an effective vaccine against this virus has not yet been developed.



Timbu virus belongs to the ecological group of arboviruses and the Timbu antigenic group, but its pathogenicity for humans has not yet been established. This may mean that the virus has not yet been studied enough to accurately determine its impact on people's health. However, it is important to note that viruses in this group can cause illness in humans and animals, so precautions must be taken when working with them.
