Una Virus

Una virus is a virus belonging to the genus alpha viruses, the togavirus family. Una virus is one of the representatives of the ecological group of arboviruses. It has antigenic group A and has no established pathogenicity for humans.

Una viruses were first discovered in 1970 in Brazil. They were named after the animal on which they were discovered - Una. Una viruses are approximately 80 nm in size and consist of a single capsid that contains a single-stranded RNA genome.

Although the Una virus is not dangerous to humans, it can be dangerous to animals, especially birds. Una viruses can cause various diseases in birds, including encephalitis, pneumonia and others.

Various methods are used to combat the Una virus, such as vaccination, disinfection and control of animals that may carry the virus. However, there is still no effective treatment for the disease caused by the Una virus, so it is important to take measures to prevent infection.



Una virus is a relatively new virus that has been discovered in some countries in Southeast Asia and the Middle East. The virus belongs to the Togavirus family and the Alphavirus genus.

The main carrier of the virus is the rabies monkey, but other animals are also found - for example, birds of the avian family. Natural and artificial foci of UnaV are also distinguished. (claim) - artificial sources of infection and spread. These may be cases of infection being imported and carried away from other countries, and its further “leaving” across the territory, incl. abroad.

Antibodies to the Una Virus are registered in the sera of all people examined for encephalitis, as well as in persons suffering from tick-borne encephalitis, rabies, and endemic polyarthritis. The presence of antigla is determined by seroepidemiological methods: complement fixation reaction, CRS, and ring precipitation reaction, RCP. Diagnosis of the disease is carried out using virological methods; detection of virus-containing material is a very difficult task. The subject of PCR testing should be the cerebrospinal fluid of patients.



Unanda virus

Unanda virus (Unana) is an infectious agent of human herpesvirus disease. Unaiada is considered an alto and belongs to the Togaviridae family. The genus Alphavirus is so named because of the characteristic similarities between their viruses.

The insidiousness of the disease lies in the fact that at the first suspicion of an epidemic, doctors and biosecurity specialists decide whether to declare quarantine both within the state and at the world level.
