China's National Disease Control and Prevention Administration confirmed on Tuesday that no Nipah virus cases have been detected in the country, but following the recent outbreak in India's West Bengal, it conducted a risk assessment deeming the immediate impact low. The nation has built a robust defense system over years, including specialized guidelines since 2021.
A large-scale study reveals that about one in ten people carry genetic variants making them more vulnerable to severe effects from the Epstein-Barr virus, which infects over 90 percent of the population. These variants are linked to higher viral persistence and increased risks of autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis and lupus. The findings, based on over 735,000 genomes, suggest pathways for targeted treatments and vaccines.
