5. It is Easily & Widely Spread
This virus can be easily and widely spread to all kinds of animals and plant life. That’s because the disease carrier or natural host is a particular type of bat. These bats can spread the illness easily through pigs which results in major economic losses as well as potential infection in humans. But these bats can also pass on the virus through their urine or saliva on a number of fruit products that they tend to flock to.
These include dates and raw date palm juice as well as a number of other fruit products. The really scary thing about this virus is the fact that these bats can go anywhere and in fact, all kinds of things that humans eat or animals to humans interact with. It is not yet known exactly what the scope is of the bat’s behavior.
