The Russian Ministry of Defence has called for an investigation into the work of at least four U.S. biological laboratories active in Nigeria, where chickenpox disease originated.
According to a report by the World Health Organization (WHO), the West African breed of monkey pox originated from Nigeria, where the United States deployed its biological infrastructure.
"According to available information, there are at least four Washington Biological Laboratories in Nigeria."
According to him, in this regard, one should recall the strange coincidence that requires further specialist verification.
- "Therefore, according to European and American media
- in the articles of the Munich Security Conference 2021
- that is, against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic
a scenario has been developed to confront an outbreak caused by a new strain of chickenpox virus."
According to Kirilov, Russia calls on the WHO leadership to investigate the activities of Nigerian laboratories funded by the United States in Abuja, Zarya and Lagos.
The Russian official added
"Against the backdrop of numerous cases of United States violations of biosecurity requirements and the realities of neglected storage of disease-causing biomaterials, we call on the WHO leadership to investigate the activities of Nigerian laboratories funded by the United States in Abuja, Zarya and Lagos, and to report their results to the international community."
According to footage presented by the Ministry of Defence during the briefing, two United States-controlled biological laboratories are operating in Abuja, one in Zaria and one in Lagos.
What you don't know about chickenpox.
Cases of the rare monkey chickenpox virus have emerged in Europe and the United States indicating that the chickenpox-related virus is spreading locally rather than due to travel to endemic countries.
What is chickenpox?
- Chickenpox is a disease caused by the chickenpox virus (the sex of orthobox viruses)
- the virus is closely associated with other "smallpox" viruses such as the vaccine
- large and small smallpox (which causes chickenpox) and the chickenpox virus
- according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Chickenpox was first identified in 1958 in monkey colonies, and again in 1970 in humans in what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo, in subsequent years monkey chickenpox outbreaks spread in areas across central and west Africa, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Is chickenpox a killer?
According to the World Health Organization, chickenpox generally takes its course, recovering on its own, over two to four weeks. However, serious cases can occur, and today about 3% to 6% of people infected with the disease die, according to the World Health Organization.
The risk of death is higher among young children, and individuals under the age of 40 to 50 may be more likely to be infected with chickenpox because vaccinations against smallpox, which help protect a person from monkey chickenpox, have ceased after the eradication of the disease, at different times in several countries around the world.
Current cases of chickenpox appear to be genetically associated with the variant, which is predominantly prevalent in West Africa, and is less lethal, with the mortality rate among cases being about 1% in these remote areas, according to Nature News.
What are the symptoms of chickenpox?
Chicken pox starts with fever, chills, fatigue, muscle pain and headaches, but also causes swollen lymph nodes, according to the CDC.
People may develop a rash within one to three days after the onset of a fever, starting on the face and spreading throughout the body.
Rashes develop through several phases before they disappear: first, light brown patches appear throughout the body, after which so-called papules, prominent bumps, then rash turns into vesicles and pus-like blisters filled with pus. Finally, these scabies fall out, and the CDC notes that the disease usually takes two to four weeks.
How is chickenpox infected?
Chickenpox is an animal disease, meaning it is usually transmitted from an animal repository to a human, but (the primary animal host is not known, but can include a number of rodent or primate species, according to the World Health Organization).
- The virus can also spread among people through constant close contact, this close contact can occur either by skin lesions, respiratory droplets
- body fluids or contaminated substances such as bedding, according to the World Health Organization.
- Monkey pox virus is much less contagious than SARS-CoV-2
the virus that causes COVID-19. However, scientists are currently investigating the genome of some of these new cases of monkey pox, to see if there are any mutations that may increase transmission, according to Nature News.
Can chickenpox be treated?
Doctors use a number of options to treat infections, including antiviral drugs and CSN immunoglobulin (antibodies taken from the combined blood of people vaccinated with smallpox vaccine) According to the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, the smallpox and ape chickenpox vaccine can be used to prevent transmission to others, using the so-called "circular vaccination" strategy. In this system, close contacts of the initial case of the smallpox vaccine are vaccinated to prevent transmission, and in 1980 this strategy eliminated smallpox.
Where has chickenpox been discovered?
- So far, more than 100 cases have been reported worldwide
- with the majority of cases emerging in Spain
- Portugal and the United Kingdom
There are also many cases associated with outbreaks near Montreal, Canada, and one in New York City and one in Massachusetts, as reported by The New York Times.
Cases were reported in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden and Australia, and many cases were of men between the ages of 30 and 55 who had sex with men, according to the Washington Post.
If you think you have chickenpox, what should you do?
If you suspect you have the monkey pox virus, contact your healthcare provider for treatment and contact tracing, especially if you fall into one of the following categories according to the CDC:
- If travelling to Central or West Africa, areas in Europe reported monkeys or other areas with confirmed cases during the month before the onset of symptoms.
- In case of direct contact with a person with confirmed or suspected monkey chickenpox.
- In the event of sexual intercourse between men.
