Nipah virus cases have been successively reported in multiple Indian regions, with the virus having both animal-to-human and human-to-human transmission routes and a fatality rate of up to 40% to 75%.
Nipah virus infection is likely to cause severe complications such as encephalitis and dyspnea, and there are currently no specific therapeutic drugs, while preventive vaccines are still in the early stage of research and trials.
Experts remind people traveling to Nipah epidemic areas in India to avoid contact with wild animals, wash fruits thoroughly and eat them peeled if possible, and seek medical attention immediately if feeling unwell.
