For many years, researchers and medical specialists have grappled with the mystery of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome - a deadly genetic disease. Recent studies have unveiled a new hypothesis regarding the cause of this disease. According to the results of the research conducted by a team of scientists, viruses from simpler organisms may be responsible for the emergence of hantavirus. This finding is based on work carried out with drifters. Scientists discovered that drifters infected with certain viruses begin to exhibit symptoms similar to those of hantavirus disease. Researchers assert that such viruses can influence the host's genes, leading to the development of hantavirus.
"Such findings may change our understanding of hantavirus disease and uncover new treatment possibilities," noted one of the researchers. Despite the fact that this research is only in its early stages, it may shed light on the mechanisms of hantavirus emergence and help develop effective methods to combat it.
