A man who worked as a veterinarian in China died after contracting a very rare viral infection. It is known, this virus first infected monkeys.
This is the first human case of being infected with the virus experienced by monkeys, otherwise known as Monkey B virus. Doctors who have been infected with this virus are known to have specialized in experimental research on non-human primates.
In early March, the doctor performed surgery on two dead monkeys. Within a month of it, he began to experience fever, nausea, vomiting, and neurological symptoms.
The doctor was hospitalized, but died on May 27. The 53-year-old man was diagnosed with the Monkey B virus.
The virus most commonly infects monkeys and apes. Previously, there were rarely reports of humans experiencing Monkey B infection.
There have been only 50 reported cases of Monkey B virus in humans since its discovery in 1932. However, when the virus jumped from monkeys to humans, it became deadly.
