Florida Cat Named Pepper Brings Home Never-Before-Seen Virus—for the Second Time

Last year, a pet cat, a pet cat walking in the back courtyards of pepper, Florida, Florida, helped him find a new viral tension. Now the furry verbs come back again.

In a new study, scientists found an exotic virus that is infected with a dead rodent caught by pepper. This time, the type of virus infected with human and other mammals around the Pepper’s furry hunting trophy to determine a type of orven. The full genome of findings and virus has been published in the magazine Microbiology Letters.

John Lednicky, the leading author of the pepper and the leading author, is a microbiologist at the University of Florida and is similar to pepper hunt rodents. For the test, the lab was Lednicky, which brings a fresh grip of pepper.

His analysis, a short-tailed Ertadas, the short-tailed, previously carried a filter of an unknown Ordrenovirus. This type of viruses can be infected with people and other mammals, but scientists still do not know much about the effects of people. However, children were a few unique ensures, meningitis and gastroenterithic situations related to the virus. The new viral tension is officially known as Gainesville Shrew Mammalian Orthoreovirus type 3 filter UF-1 “.

Ordhorevırususes are quick to mutate. Like the flu virus, two different orthorovirus, can be infected with a host cell. This means that two viral sushes create a new virus, mix their genomes inside the cell.

“We must pay attention to the sub-line, ornoreovirus and know how fast we will reveal them,” said Lednicky statement.

Pepper Last contribution to science In May 2021, when he brought home, the United States, who has never seen a common cotton mouse, which is never seen in a kind of jeilongvirus, jeilongvirus, in addition to the mammal, and birds are infected. Also, sometimes people can cause serious diseases. This learn Published last year.

Since then, Lednicky has been difficult to determine other Roman viruses. It adds that viruses are not very surprising to find a new viral tension since they are quickly mutated. “I’m not the first to say that, but essentially, you will find it and therefore we find all these new viruses.”

Next, researchers plan to continue to study the exotic virus to understand that he pose a threat to human and pets. However, the virus did not pose any threat to pepper, at least something that shows signs of illness and once again.

“It was an opportunistic study,” he said. “If you encountered a dead animal, why don’t try it instead of burying it? There are many information that will win.”
