At any time, a potentially deadly global pandemic could explode and destroy a large part of humanity. In any case, this is what the WHO wants to say, which speaks of 100 million deaths.
The information comes from Tedros Adhanom, Director General of the World Health Organization. According to Tedros, who spoke a few days ago at the World Summit of Governments in Dubai, the lack of universal health coverage is the biggest threat to global health. The researcher recalls at the same time that 3,5 billion people around the world still do not have access to essential health services.
In front of an audience suddenly uncomfortable, he said that "this is exactly what happened 100 years ago during the Spanish flu epidemic", not to mention that humanity was not not immune to a new disaster of this kind. "A devastating epidemic could begin in any country and kill millions of people because we are not yet prepared."
But because of the high cost of care, nearly 100 million people around the world are in extreme poverty.
The only flying mammal, this animal transmits diseases that are dangerous for humans. Like Ebola, which killed 6 000 people in Africa in less than a year.
When we talk about bats, we think about its ability to sleep suspended, head down, or Batman ... But for scientists, these flying animals are mostly associated with viruses because they carry disease . Since this summer, scientists are almost certain that these flying mammals are the cause of the outbreak of Ebola that broke out in southern Guinea almost a year ago. A monkey would have been in contact with an infected bat. The primate would become a vector of the disease before being manipulated and cut up by humans, who would have been contaminated by eating it (see infographic on the next page). Since then, the virus has continued on its way. In early December, there were more 16 000 cases in Africa, where the epidemic has already made about 6 000 dead.
How the virus is transmitted
and spreads?
The fruit bat, also known as the Flying Fox, of the genus Pteropus is a natural host reservoir for the Nipah and Hendra viruses. The virus is present in the urine of fruit bats and possibly in feces, saliva and liquids released during the birth of bats. Malaysian pig farms in
The disease first appeared with fruit trees that attracted bats from the rainforest, perhaps as a result of deforestation programs. Domestic pigs were exposed to the urine and feces of bats, which are thought to be the source of the swine infection which subsequently spread rapidly as part of intensive pig rearing. . In addition, transmission between farms may be due to the presence of the virus on clothing, equipment, boots or in vehicles for example
A virus from the bat
Like many emerging infections, Nipah comes from deforestation, which exposes previously unknown pathogens. The first outbreak was recorded in 1998 in Malaysia, in the village of Sungai Nipah which gave its name to the virus. In one year, the epidemic had infected 300 people and made a hundred casualties.
Nipah's natural reservoir is a large, frugivorous bat called Pteropus. Nomadic, she can travel more than 600 km, spreading the virus over long distances. In general, contamination occurs through farmed pork, but this is not systematic. The latest outbreak, reported between 2001 and 2007 in Bangladesh, began with the consumption of date palm contaminated with bat droppings.
Fortunately a vaccine was quickly developed against Ebola. https://www.letemps.ch/sciences/cette-y ... irus-ebola and helped to stem the epidemic, no offense to Janic.

The same rhetoric was held for each new vaccine. The smallpox vaccine was also considered "effective" and this was a health disaster. It's beautiful blind faith!After difficulties of development, the last vaccine against ebola is a success because remember, it is a person in two who without vaccine dies ebola.
"The rVSV-ZEBOV had then demonstrated an effectiveness of the order of 75 to 100% in 7651 people according to the journal The Lancet."

What good news !
Finally a country where the precautionary principle does not prevail, which makes Western minds completely timid today!
I take hope, there are still men who advance, humanity may not be fucked.
