After A, B, and C, the influenza D strain is officially revealed

A new strain of D influenza strain has just been found that is surprising to global scientists.

Accordingly, scientists from the State University of South Dakota and India have officially confirmed the discovery of a new strain of cattle strain of D strain to distinguish them from previously found strains of viruses A, B, and C. .

' This is a new strain of virus found on cattle, specifically on guinea pigs, or' guinea pigs' - Professor Feng Li of the International Committee for Virus Classification said in a declare.

Currently Professor Feng Li and Radhey Shyam Kaushik are receiving US $ 400,000 in aid from the US International Institute so that they can continue to study biological factors, genetics and the evolutionary ability of the latest D virus. this.

According to a marginal information received, this D-type virus has a structure similar to 50% similar to that of active influenza C in humans. However, whether or not this new virus spreads over the human body is still unproven.

In addition, blood samples on sheep and goats also found the D virus strain, but no poultry has been found in poultry such as ducks.

The most worrisome thing is that the virus may be recombinant, genetically modified or it could turn into some new strain that is more dangerous and spreads, causing illness directly on the human body. Professor Kaushik explained.
