Viral diseases are responsible to pose significant threat to livestock and human beings globally. There are few viruses which remain endemic especially in developing and low income countries, leading to severe economic losses [1,2]. In the last few decades mankind has faced many emerging and re-emerging viruses. Literature has reported so many zoonotic viruses including Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF), West Nile, Nipah, middle east respiratory syndrome, influenza, Ebola, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus, monkey pox and many others [3].
