The Camp Hill virus, a member of the henipavirus family, has been discovered in shrews in Alabama, marking its first detection in the U.S. While no human cases have been reported, scientists are concerned about the potential for animal-to-human transmission, especially given the virus’s fatality rates in similar viruses like Nipah and Hendra. Henipaviruses can cause severe symptoms, including brain inflammation and seizures, with death rates up to 75%. The Camp Hill virus, typically found in Australian fruit bats, may now spread across various animal species. Researchers are studying the virus’s genetic material to understand its effects and develop vaccines. The discovery raises concerns about potential future outbreaks, particularly due to the virus’s presence in common North American wildlife
