After mad cow disease, swine fever, bird flu, EHEC and corona, the next super virus is now on the world’s doorstep. As researchers at the University of Malacca have now discovered, the virus known as X22N3 comes from Iceland and was flown to Southeast Asia last winter by the seagull species Larus Ridibundus. The pathogen can be transmitted to humans and is highly contagious. The first cases are already being treated in various clinics.
