Abstract
- The article discusses the Nipah virus (NiV), a zoonotic paramyxovirus that poses a significant public health threat due to its high fatality rates and potential for human-to-human transmission. Originating in South and Southeast Asia, NiV is known for recurrent outbreaks linked to contact with infected animals, particularly fruit bats, or consumption of contaminated food products. The virus can infect a wide range of hosts, causing severe disease and death in humans. Currently, there is no specific antiviral treatment for NiV, and prevention strategies focus on public health measures to reduce exposure and transmission. [Extracted from the article]
