Corona spreads among animals

Corona spreads among animals

Corona virus does not stop spreading, since it first appeared in December 2019, and it was officially announced in January 2020 by the Chinese authorities, and the virus does not distinguish between a human or animal, so it infects the second and kills the first, as Covid 19 infections around the world have reached more  Out of 90.6 million people.  While the total number of deaths caused by the virus reached one million and 941 thousand and 538.

   Corona infections in animals have become a sure matter, after it was reported that many different animals around the world, from America in the West to China in the East, were infected, and in April 2020, a female tiger from the Malaysian family, living in a zoo in New York City in the United States, was infected with a virus  Pandemic.

  The Bronx Zoo said that the laboratory of the National Veterinary Services in Iowa confirmed the infection of a four-year-old female tiger named "Nadia", in addition to her sister Nadia, "Azul."  The Amur tigers and three African lions had a dry cough, but all are expected to be cured, according to the zoo, and it is believed that the infection was transmitted to these animals by a working guard.  In the zoo.

   The results of the tests also appeared on other types of big cats, which are snow tigers, infected with the emerging corona virus, in December 2020, and tests conducted on 3 snow leopards at the Louisville Zoo found that they were infected with the Corona virus, as confirmed by the zoo and the Animal and Plant Health Examination Service.  At the US Department of Agriculture Friday, the animals included two males and a female.

   The female was confirmed first, and Louisville Zoo director John Walchuck said in a video statement that the symptoms of the Three Panthers appeared "mild" and included a dry cough.  He is expected to recover completely.

   Coronaviruses originate from animals and possibly bats, as some scientists believe, but it is possible that a medium mammal acts as an incubator to allow the virus to change, which is enough to help it become infected more easily.  People.

   And in November 2020, Denmark culled all mink animals on its farms due to the emergence of the virus among the animals and the discovery of a mutant strain, and the authorities said it was less.  Allergy to antibodies, which raised concerns that this might harm the effectiveness of vaccines.

   After several days of the executions in Denmark, several thousand minkes appeared that were executed to reduce the risk of re-transmission of the new Corona virus to humans from their shallow graves in western Denmark after its accumulation.  The Danish government announced that gases are inside their bodies, in order to avoid a new environmental scandal this time.  He is ready to exhume and cremate the carcasses of hastily buried mink in the war on the COVID-19 pandemic.

    The issue has become more complicated after the emergence of symptoms of the Corona virus on the gorillas at the San Diego Zoo, which is endangered, and workers at animal speech in San Diego fear that at least 8 gorillas may be infected with it.  Corona Virus.

   Several gorillas at the San Diego Zoo are believed to have contracted the Coronavirus, in what is believed to be the first case among captive primates.

   And California Governor Gavin Newsom said that two of the gorillas have tested positive for the Corona virus, which causes the outbreak of Covid-19, and it appears that the third gorilla has shown symptoms.

   For its part, the executive director of the zoo, Lisa Peterson, told the Associated Press, on Monday, that 8 gorillas living together will be infected with the virus and that many of them cough.

   San Diego Zoo officials believe that the infection was transmitted to the gorilla from an employee who did not show symptoms of the disease and then tested positive, despite the widespread spread of Corona virus measures.  Protect the monkeys, according to Sky News.

   "Aside from a little congestion and coughing, the gorillas look fine," Peterson said, adding that "the gorilla herd is still in quarantine and they eat and drink together."

   "For nearly a year, our team members have worked tirelessly, with utmost determination to protect each other and the wildlife in our care from this highly contagious virus ... and the safety of our employees," Peterson explained, wildlife remains our top priority, and gorillas have been tested using their droppings.  After two of them started coughing on January 6th.

   Veterinarians monitor the group closely.  They are given vitamins, fluids, and food as there is no specific treatment for the virus.

   It should be noted that other wild animals were infected with the Corona virus, including mink and tigers, but it is believed that cases of gorillas in the San Diego Zoo are the first to be reported in a state zoo.  - are united and perhaps in the world.

   Studies have shown that some primates are susceptible to the virus that has infected more than 90 million people and killed nearly 2 million people, although it is not known if they had a serious reaction.

   Meanwhile, zoo officials are working closely with experts treating humans with the coronavirus should the monkeys' condition deteriorate.

   “He is monstrous, he has his own resilience and he can heal differently from ours,” Peterson said, adding that the current goal is to preserve his health.
