The scientist Jean-Jacques Muembe-Tamphum, who was one of the first to discover the Ebola virus, warned of the appearance of the deadly “Disease X”.
According to CNN, one of the doctor’s patients had early symptoms of hemorrhagic fever, while tests for Ebola and other known illnesses came back negative.
According to Muembe-Tamfum, a woman can be a zero patient with a new disease.

Disease X is believed to be as contagious as coronavirus, with deaths from infection reaching between 50% and 90% of Ebola deaths.
The professor explained that humanity is threatened by a number of unknown viruses, many of them lurking in the tropical forests of Africa.
He added that sooner or later new pathogens that are transmitted from animals to humans will surely appear.
The WHO believes that if the existence of “Disease X” is confirmed, then the new disease will bring devastating consequences.
As OBOZREVATEL reported, another new strain of coronavirus was discovered in the UK, which turned out to be more intense than the previous one. The two newly identified cases are patient contacts who have traveled from South Africa in recent weeks.
