Qalyub orthonairovirus

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia


Qalyub orthonairovirus, also known as Qalyub nairovirus or simply Qalyub virus, is a negative-sense single-stranded RNA virus discovered in a rat's nest in a tomb wall in the Egyptian town of Qalyub (

arz

) in 1952.[1] The primary vector for transmission is the Carios erraticus tick,[2] and thus it is an arbovirus.

There is no evidence of clinical disease in humans.[2]
