In the case of the Eluru ailment, scientists and health experts are not ruling out any possible angle behind the sudden outbreak. Each leading research body has been handed a specific task and only after all these reports are analysed, will health officials come to a conclusion on what triggered the acute symptoms in people across social, sex and age groups.
The research ranges from identifying a pathogen, if any, to finding the cause at the cellular and molecular level. Scientific and health aspects involved will all be studied.
While the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Delhi and Mangalagiri, will look into the medical aspects, the National Institute of Nutrition will study the nutritional angles involved. The Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology will find out if there are any changes at the cellular or molecular level, while the Indian Institute of Chemical Technology will find out if there are any toxins behind the ailment.
