the marug virus welcome to a world where the polio virus still looms large driving doctors into a frenzy as they hunt for a vaccine when rats turn out elusive they turn to a new test monkey and quite literally actual Ugandan blue monkeys just as they become hopeful the story takes a wild turn scientists start collapsing hit by fever and that marks the start of the marug virus since 1967 the marug virus has been responsible for the death of over 200 people people who are infected by the virus start experiencing symptoms like headaches fever and terrible
stomach issues it is transmitted by contact with blood and other body fluids like sweat victims usually don't show signs until 2 or 20 days after infection and can suffer internal bleeding and organ damage no vaccines exist yet ironically in their quest for a cure they've only stumbled upon a new maze and a terrible one indeed the Ebola virus a fatality rate of up to a frightening 90% explains how deadly the Ebola virus is first reemerging in sedan in 1976 it's as lethal as the Bubonic plague but spread by bats severe symptoms like high fever bleeding
and organ failure it's a nightmare scenario something even Batman would dread a myth says the virus melts organs but the truth is even scarier it destroys the spleen and kidneys crippling the body's defenses victims suffer from dehydration sore throat difficulty breathing internal bleeding sudden fever and intense pain and headaches the virus rapidly multiplies in the liver leading to stomach pain and vomiting luckily there is now a vaccine approved in 2019 rvsv ZB oov combats the Ebola virus with great potential for high-risk individuals the drug has been a breakthrough in the fight against one of the
world's deadliest microbial Terror rabies no one has knew to a dog bite but you may not know that it could drive one crazy spread by saliva from raccoons bats squirrels and of course dogs the rabes virus is among the Lissa virus family coincidentally Lissa is Latin for rage the virus is a literal maddening virus you might expect that your body's defenses would kick in early and punch down the evil virus but really your immune system doesn't even realize the virus is present you may be wondering why it's because the virus replicates slowly and silently so
it easily slips into the brain and nervous tissues without being suspected an actual silent killer rabies symptoms may include drooling confusion wild hyperactivity and a strange and intense fear of water but here's what you don't know getting a vaccine against rabies after a bite will help you stay alive you'll have no symptoms at all so the next time you get bitten by a dog and assume it's just a minor injury remember that dogs bites can lead to rabies the hirus the lethal pathogen spread by rodents antivirus creates a name for it even with a fatality
rate of around 38% it's no Minor Threat this Secret Killer exists in rodent droppings making proper hygiene and rodent control essential the virus causes antivirus p pulmonary syndrome HPS which begins with signs of flu at first fever muscle aches and fatigue are among the first symptoms with time it grows to grave respiratory issues with the lungs getting flooded with fluids more than 600 cases have been reported since its Discovery in 1993 there's no cure for now and people get treated by having to manage the symptoms detecting it very early is important and can help to
control the disease in worst cases patients may have to be hospitalized to get supportive care including oxygen therapy again there is no cure for this virus it is very important that you don't stay around where infected people are HIV AIDS 100 years ago the world fought the human immuno deficiency virus HIV which has since claimed the lives of over 36 million people this virus when present in a person's body and left untreated trans forms what is known as acquired immuno deficiency syndrome right now over 50 million people are living with this disease where HIV really
came from is still not clear but some people believe it must have come from simei and monkeys and bounced onto humans turning into it the deadly virus as soon as it settled into the body do you think we got it from monkeys share your thoughts in the comments section the virus is transmitted by sex or blood contamination sharing of needles and other sharp objects is definitely not the wisest thing to do fun fact contrary to the widespread idea that mosquitoes can transmit HIV there has been no cases of such factually insects don't transmit HIV anti
retrov drugs like zidovudine and aidam have been used to treat AIDS though their healing powers might still be questionable like antivirus most viral infections here managing HIV might require hospitalization and intensive care the Rota virus a cannibalistic Menace particularly for young children rotavirus is responsible for over 200,000 deaths annually wreaking havoc with symptoms like severe diarrhea dehydration and vomiting basically stomach issues but Rota virus is not completely uncontrollable when children are immunized early enough their lives can be saved Denay fever many people might be aware that Deni fever has killed Millions worldwide from hundreds of
thousands in the 1970s to almost a billion in the last two decades Deni fever really took lives like the deadly malaria disease the Deni virus is born by mosquitoes symptoms include high fever severe headaches joint and muscle pain nausea and a rash in the worst cases it becomes Deni hemorrhagic fever which can be very deadly if not treated infected victims bleed to death that started from something as small as a mosquito bite prevention is important you can use mosquito repellants or mosquito Nets to avoid being bitten make sure you put on long sleeves and pants
when outside clear stagnant water around your home eliminate all mosquito breeding grounds beat the bite small pox over a millennia ago smallpox wiped out over a third of Japan's population technically oneir of the people who suddenly went blind in the 18th 19th century actually suffered from the disease small poox a disease that is easily contagious is caused by the variola virus thanks to vaccination efforts that helped eradicate it since 1980 we can now save ourselves from this virus signs of small pox include high fever body aches and a rash that turns into bumps filled with
fluids smallpox killed Millions year after year during its peak making it one of the deadliest diseases in history again vaccines were at our rescue covid-19 let's go back to the year 2019 when everyone was going about their daily business what we didn't know was that we were about to witness a global lockdown that would shake the world the Corona virus pandemic forced people to stay at homes and also claim the lives of 5 million people worldwide as of now there have been over 250 million confirmed cases which shows the virus's ability to spread affecting societies
and economies worldwide there have been theories of its reoccurrence one conspiracy theory viewed it as a biological way for the new world order to begin another explained that it was created in a lab and allowed to spread to test its potency on humans on a much larger scale whether a scientific hoax or a test experiment Nobody Knows the virus like other of its kind SARS brutally destroys the respiratory system which they also use as their means of transmission as it turns out lockdowns were important in curbing the spread of this virus the influenza virus the
influenza virus with its random mutations was a silent killer claiming millions of lives throughout history till date it proved Relentless in its pursuit of victims this virus shook Nations and changed people's lives reminding us of how much we should protect ourselves from these viruses with more than a 100 million deaths in 1918 the virus could almost not be stopped by 1919 over two- fifths of the world had been infected while there's no cure for the influenza virus antiviral medications like Tamiflu and osil tavir may help remove the symptoms yearly immunizations with flu vaccines can also
help in preventing the infection also practice proper hygiene junine virus while some viruses are known for their Mayhem this virus is one that leaves us questions let's go to junine Argentina to get some answers in the mid 20th century Farm Workers on a grain Farm all came down with a cold they were soon placed on doses of anti-flu medication and hopes of getting themselves back to the farm soon then a week passed by and no one got better then 2 weeks then 3 weeks in fact it worsened and soon the farmers were all puking blood
and bleeding crazy what was happening as it turned out what they thought was a mere flu was actually a more dangerous viral infection caused by the junine virus this virus was actually transmitted to the farmers by rodents that had infested the farm rat bite nope the respiratory molecules of the rodents were transmitted through the air to the farmers with a mortality rate between 20 to 30% the Juni virus as gorgeous a name as it is is a curse to man it is not transmitted by human to human contact but rather by aerosolized respiratory particles from
the rodents symptoms may include fever and males initially but can proliferate to Hemorrhage sepsis and neurological defects a week later the candid number one vaccine discovered in the late 20th century is the only means of treating this Nemesis yet the virus remains a torture to mankind at least to the argentines what do we know in the world of different forms of life many microorganisms bacteria viruses and pradon have taken advantage of human life to breed contaminating almost anything that comes in their way it's sad that we may never get to stop other viruses from springing
up yet we can always prevent them with proper hygiene and also the practice of good dieting and lifestyle while they build their strengths let's build our defenses against them which of these viruses do you find most lethal the comment section awaits all your questions for more interest videos click the Subscribe button and turn on your notification Bell you don't want to miss anything see you in the next video [Music]
