Spread of Human Infection with Nipah Virus

Nipah virus (NiV) may be a paramyxovirus whose reservoir host is fruit balmy of the genus Pteropus. Occasionally the virus is introduced into human populations and causes severe illness characterized by encephalitis or respiratory illness. 


The primary happening of NiV was recognized in Malaysia, but 8 outbreaks are reported from Bangladesh since 2001. The primary pathways of transmission from barmy to people in Bangladesh are through contamination of raw feather palm sap by barmy with consequent consumption by humans and thru infection of stock (cattle, pigs, and goats), presumptively from consumption of food contaminated with bat saliva or urine with subsequent transmission to people. 

Around one-half of recognized Nipah case-patients in Bangladesh developed their sickness following person-to-person transmission of the virus. Efforts to prevent transmission should specialize in decreasing bat access to date palm sap and reducing family members' and friends' exposure to infected patients' saliva.
