Cat Que Virus from China has the potential to cause disease in India: ICMR

Scientists at the ICMR have found that the Cat Que Virus (CQV), largely reported in China and Vietnam, has the potential to cause disease in India. Found in pigs and culex mosquitoes, CQV can cause febrile illnesses, meningitis and paediatric encephalitis in humans. Antibodies for the virus were found in two of the 883 human serum samples tested in India.
