00:06of virulacímica in Africa.
00:07This situation,
00:08as it was expected,
00:09has generated quite a lot of inquietud.
00:10But before alarmarse,
00:11must have been clear
00:12a number of key points
00:13about this disease.
00:14First, it is an emergency
00:16of public health
00:17level of alert
00:18that prevé
00:19the International Reglamento
00:20Sanitario
00:21and is the maximum
00:22level of alarm.
00:23This means that
00:23they should take
00:24measures and urgent
00:25to prevent the spread of the disease.
00:28In total, the OMS
00:29has declared this emergency
00:30in eight opportunities.
00:32The alert the OMS
00:33because the cases
00:34have increased significantly
00:35in Africa.
00:36The most important case
00:37is the Republic of the Congo,
00:39where there is a rapid
00:40propagation, declared 1,
00:41of which we will talk about later.
00:43The virulacímica
00:43is a disease
00:44that is caused by a
00:45virus that pertains
00:46to the género
00:46ortopoxvirus.
00:47This type of virulac
00:49provoca erupciones dolorosas
00:50and symptoms
00:50similar to those of the
00:51fever,
00:52like fiebre,
00:52dolor de cabeza
00:53and dolores corporales.
00:54It is transmitted
00:55by contact direct
00:55or indirect
00:56with the blood
00:57with fluids corporals,
00:58lesions of the blood
00:59or the mucosas
01:00of animals infectados.
01:01Also,
01:02by the objects
01:02that have been contaminated
01:03with the virus,
01:04by contact
01:05with a infected person.
01:06What do you think about
01:07the clavos?
01:07Well,
01:08when talking about
01:08virulacímica,
01:09it is important to understand
01:10that today
01:10there are mainly two clavos.
01:12Clavos 1
01:12and clavos 2.
01:13The clavos 1
01:14is the one that is
01:14worried about the OMS.
01:16The scientists
01:16believe that
01:17they can be present
01:18a mutation
01:18of the virus,
01:19which is causing
01:20a greater transmission
01:21between humans.
01:22The clavos 2,
01:22as the Institute
01:23National de Salud,
01:24is associated with
01:25menores complications
01:26and a menor letalidad.
01:27This clavos
01:28was responsible
01:28for the epidemic
01:29that was present
01:30in the world
01:30between 2022 and 2023.
01:32In Colombia,
01:33until now,
01:33no have been detected
01:34the clavos 1,
01:35according to the INS,
01:36only the clavos 2.
