Coronervirus can penetrate the brain and increase the risk of Parkinson's disease

While Parkinson's disease is still unclear, many scientists agree that this disease is the result of a number of genetic and environmental factors.

One of the newly published authors of the study, Kevin Barnham, has described Parkinson's beginning as caused by a “mozic event”.

He and other researchers point to an increasing number of reports showing that the coronary, which causes COVID-19, is a neurotropic virus, which means that the virus has the ability to enter brain tissue. According to them, it suggests that SARS-CoV-2 certainly has the ability to serve as a pathogenous dreary for increasing Parkinson's risk of disease.

The team of researchers also refers to the fall from the Spanish flu or the pandemic of 1918 as evidence of the double stroke éphipotase é, which suggests that an initial infection caused by a virus may first cause nerve inflammation react greatly from a subsequent neurological event later in life.

Scientists said that five years after the Spanish flu ended, the number of cases of Parkinson's disease had tripled.

Researchers have warned that Parkinson's disease levels may rise dramatically over the years to come, following in from COVID-19's pandemic.

Parkinson is currently one of the fastest growing neurologic diseases in the world, with cases doubling from three to six million over the past 20 years. Experts estimate that the disease will affect more than 12 million people by 2040.

Researchers from Aarhus University have published their new findings of the disease in the magazine éBrain. According to the study, while for some patients, the disease begins in the intestines and spreads from there to the brain through the nerve connections, in other cases it begins in the brain and spreads to other organs like the heart.
