The Yara virus is one of the new viruses that scientists recently discovered in Brazil, following the declaration of a state of emergency in the world because of the Corona virus, which caused a state of global confusion after the emergence of a new virus, but what is the mysterious Yara virus in Brazil and is it dangerous or not? What we will get to know in the following lines.
According to “SCIENCE ALERT“A new form of virus has puzzled scientists after its appearance, as this virus did not have known genes. This” mysterious “virus collected from amoeba in an artificial lake in Brazil was much smaller than the viruses usually known as amoeba.
Yura virus –
The research team called it “Yaravirus, Also known as LaraIaraIt means “the mother of all waters” and represents a beautiful figure like a mermaid of Brazilian mythology that will attract sailors underwater to live with her forever.
And when scientists examined the sequence of the virus’s genome yarav This is the process of determining the complete DNA sequence that consists of a living organism. They discovered that more than 90% of the virus’s genes had not been found before.
Yura virus–
The team that checked the virus said at the site bioRxiv For biological sciences: “Here we report the discovery of a virus Yaravirus, Which is a new strain of the elusive Amypal virus.
Jonatas Abrau, a virologist at the Federal University of Minas Gerais in Brazil, said the results indicate “how much we need to understand” about viruses, as some of the proteins in the Yara virus are similar to those in a giant virus, but it is still not clear how the two relate together .

Researchers in Brazil are still examining the features of the new virus, and a scientist unconnected to the study suggested that the results were a “completely new treasure chest of unprecedented biochemistry processes”.
It is not clear what the effects on human health have been so far, but scientists are working hard to find out, with the size and genetic abnormalities that Yara virus possesses, this virus is still completely unknown.
