▲The '''Yama Virus''', also known as '''Myocardium Digestorium Disease''' ('''MDD''') or simply '''Yama''', is a viral myocardium virus of humans and other primates and is also one of the only known
The Yama Virus was first named and recorded by Osvald Jackson in February 2017 and was named from where it was discovered, near Mount Yama in [[Louzaria]].
Because of its high mortality rate (up to 80-95%), Yama is also listed as a select agent, World Health Organization Risk Group 4 Pathogen (requiring Biosafety Level 4-equivalent containment), a MBE National Institutes of Health/National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Category A Priority Pathogen, MBE CDC Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Category A Bioterrorism Agent, and listed as a Biological Agent for Export Control by the Gordic Council.
==Symptoms and properties==
A person infected with Yama Virus will experience little to no symptoms until the ' ''point of no return'' ', which is generally agreed when a person has been infected for more than 18 hours and no less than 22. It is at this point the person shall experience slight heart pains and in almost all cases internal bleeding concentrated within the torso. Heart pains will intensify after this period. Some cases reported bleeding from the nose and mouth after the point of no return. Infected persons may suffer headaches that can very from mild to extreme.
Between 30 and 50 hours the host
==Studies==
A 2018 study found that the virus could survive in dried blood for up to five days, and in liquid blood (outside the body) for as long as 14 days.
In the laboratory, the virus displays some capability of infection through small-particle aerosols; however, airborne spread among humans has not been clearly demonstrated. Individuals handling the infected monkeys or their fluids and cell cultures of Yama virus have become ill.
The virus has a mortality rate anywhere between 80-95%. It is hard to estimate a mortality rate with only a handful of cases.
