Disease-X a New African virus: Professor Jean-Jacques Muyembe Tamfum, a scientist who discovered the dreaded Ebola virus, claimed in a CNN interview that a new one called Disease X The disease is present in many parts of the world and people suffering from it have been found in the Congo.
The world is battling the Coronavirus and vaccination programs have been started against it in many countries. Meanwhile, the scientist who discovered the dreaded Ebola virus has issued a warning that the world should soon be ready for this new disease. Professor Jean-Jacques Muyembe Tamfum has claimed in an interview to CNN that the disease named Disease X is present in many parts of the world and people in the Congo have been found by the scientist Jean-Jacques Muyembe .
Professor Jean has named this epidemic as Disease X and has stated that it is quite fatal. Let me tell you that Professor Jean had discovered the Ebola virus in the year 1976. Jean said, “Today we are in a world where new viruses will come out, and these viruses will become a threat to humanity.” He said that I believe that the future epidemic will be more dangerous than corona virus and it will be more devastating. Earlier, a female patient has been seen with the symptoms of hemorrhagic in Igando, Congo. The Ebola test of this patient was conducted but it has come negative. Doctors fear that she is the first patient of ‘Disease X’. He said that the new virus can spread like corona rapidly, but the death toll from it is 50 to 90 percent more than Ebola.
WHO currently called Disease-X as fiction
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), scientists say that the Disease X pandemic is still a concept, but if the disease is being claimed as it is, then if there is a similar disease then it will be enough to prevent it from spreading worldwide. Difficulties will come. Professor Jean took the blood sample of the mysterious virus-affected patient for the first time, which was later named Ebola. When Ebola virus was first detected, 88 percent of patients and 80 percent of its employees died in the Yambuku Mission Hospital. When Ebola started bleeding, the patient dies. The specimen that Jean had taken was sent to Belgium and the United States where scientists found that a worm-shaped virus was present in the blood.
Big diseases are spreading from animals
Let us know that in the past years, frequent yellow fever, various types of influenza, rabies and other diseases have come from animals to humans. Most of them are due to mice or insects. Plague-like epidemic has come in the world. Experts say that animal habitats are getting depleted and wildlife trade has increased and due to this the cases of spreading of these viruses are increasing. He said that if the natural habitat is destroyed then the big animals will be destroyed but the rats, bats and insects are left. Sars, mars and corona viruses also came from animals to humans. It is believed that the corona virus originated from Wuhan city of China came from bats. Today, the corona virus released from Wuhan has killed millions of people.

According to research from the University of Edinburgh, Britain, a new virus is entering the world at an interval of every three to four years. According to university professor Mark Woolhouse, most viruses are coming from animals. Scientists said that if wild animals were bitten, then epidemics like Ebola and Corona virus would gain. He said that live animals kept in a weight market like Wuhan are at greater risk and a ‘Disease X’ epidemic may be present inside any of these animals. Scientists earlier also held the market of such live animals responsible for diseases spread in humans such as flu and SARS.
