Argentine scientists have suggested that the irregularity of infection with coronavirus in different countries depends on the availability of superastronomical — people who convey a large number of viruses. About it write “news”.
Researcher Pablo Beldomenico from the National University Litoral explained that superastronomical infection can spread faster and to more people than the average infected. As the scientist believes, this was the reason for the different percentage distribution of the virus and mortality in different countries.
Beldomenico also believes that it is important not only the fact of infection, but the number of viruses that gets people. Your assertion, he reinforced the results of the study with calves. They were experimentally infected with a strain of virus diarrhea of cattle in three different viral doses. Some of the animals that received the highest dose, there was a serious illness.
Deputy Director for scientific work of IFHE RAS Oleg Batishchev agreed with the conclusions of the expert, stating that a high viral load of the person can really become superastronomical.
According to him, the virus infects human cells. Therefore, one virus, once ingested, triggers one cell, which then will produce several new viruses. “But if people were 100 viruses that result we will have 10 of thousands of new viruses,” he said.
Earlier in may, scientists at the Federal University of Bahia in Brazil called travel major cause of the spread of coronavirus across the planet. According to conclusions of experts, countries that have banned international air services have achieved greater success in combating infection than those who still have not taken any action.
