What Is The History Behind Nipah Virus
Health officials further confirmed that none of the individuals who came into contact with the infected nurses across different parts of the state have tested positive so far. No fresh Nipah cases have been reported, providing relief to health authorities monitoring the situation. The Nipah virus was first identified in 1998–99 during an outbreak among pig farmers in Malaysia. It is a zoonotic virus, meaning it spreads from animals to humans, with fruit bats as the natural hosts.
The virus can transmit through contaminated food, infected animals, or human-to-human contact. Nipah is known for its high fatality rate and can cause severe respiratory illness and encephalitis. India first reported Nipah cases in 2001 in West Bengal, with later outbreaks in Kerala.
