Government experts said that the living organisms that cause deadly pathogens from the families of pathogens that include bird flu, plague and Ebola are a threat to health in the UK and must be given priority to research.
The first tool of its kind from the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) lists 24 types of viruses and bacteria, where the lack of vaccines, tests, treatment, changes from the climate crisis or increasing resistance to drugs are biological security risks.
The nurses’ families in the list cause many diseases that are not currently appeared in the UK. “Great effects worldwide, including social and economic implications,” said Dr. Isabelle Oliver, chief scientific official at UKHSA, while a great outbreak abroad can have “major effects worldwide, including social and economic effects.”
Viruses in Filoviridae The family includes the hemorrhagic fever Marburg and Ebola, while Flavveride The viruses transmitted by mosquitoes include dengue and Zika fever. Families include bacteria that have highlighted that country Esrena PastisWhich causes plague, and Malignant anthraxWhich causes malicious anthrax.
It includes others listed in the list Coronaviridae The family, which includes Covid-19, and Orthomyxoviridae Family that includes bird flu.
Oliver said that Ukhsa scientists have thought about “not only the fact that some of these families have high potential to cause doctors or epidemics, but also when there are current gaps in the availability of diagnosis or vaccines and treatment, or when there are advanced changes and more change.
She said that one of the Fears of Ukhsa, which is reflected in the tool, was “the change in the distribution of mosquitoes and ticks that could carry viruses that cause harmful health effects of humans” associated with climate and environmental change.
Oliver stressed, the document, which will be updated regularly, does not indicate the pathogens that Ukhsa considers most likely to cause the next epidemic. She said that it will be used in talks with the scientific community “to help ensure the concentration of investment on the place that could have the greatest impact.”
Some diseases were highlighted, including Caliciviridae A family member of the Norofis virus, is already a “high” local burden in the UK, but they have no specific treatment or vaccine.
The first report of Covid’s survey in the United Kingdom found that before 2020 there was a lot of focus on the risk of influenza’s pace, as officials took a long time to adapt to the threat of a different type of virus.
the parameyxoviridae Family – which includes measles, as well as the Nipa virus – is among those highlighted as anxiety.
“The new meter -like virus will pose a much worse threat than Covid. Such a virus will be much higher [indicating how contagious an infectious disease is] Of the original variables of Covid – which makes it impossible to control even through the tougher lock. It will also be more deadly, (unlike Covid) will be a threat to children. This is the type of epidemic that public health agencies feel all over the world.
“However, there are many potential types of new friendly threats-what is called X-and Ukhsa report is a reminder in a timely manner that we should not lay all our eggs in one basket.”
