Lloviu virus

Lloviu virus is a recently discovered virus belonging to the family Filoviridae, which includes the Ebola virus. It was first identified in Spain in bats, suggesting that these animals are its natural hosts. While little is known about its potential to infect humans, it raises concerns due to its genetic similarities to other dangerous viruses. The virus is mainly of interest to researchers studying emerging infectious diseases and zoonotic viruses that can jump from animals to humans. Precautions are important to prevent possible outbreaks, especially in areas where human and bat interactions are common.
