Corona Virus : A medicine will kill Corona Virus

Scientists in Australia have been very close to finding a break from the corona virus infection. Scientists have destroyed the virus in only 48 hours from a cell infected with the corona virus in the lab and that too with a drug that is already available. Researchers found that an anti-parasitic drug already in the world, which killed the parasites, destroyed the corona virus. This is a major breakthrough in the treatment of coronavirus and this can now pave the way for clinical trials.

Only one dose of a drug called evermectin can kill all viral RNA, including the corona virus, in 48 hours. Evertectin is an anti-parasite drug that is effective against many viruses such as HIV, dengue, influenza, and zika virus. Scientists believe that the way this drug works on other viruses, it will also work on the corona. In other viruses, this drug is firstly able to eliminate the effect of the virus in host cells (the cells that were the first to become infected with infection and spread to other cells).

Actually, RNA viruses are called viruses whose RNA is found in the genetic material, ie ribo nucleic acid. The study was conducted by Kylie Wagstaff of Monash University, Australia, along with other scientists. However it has also been warned that this has been done in the study lab and it will need to be tested on people.
