Abstract

Abstract

Nipah virus (NIV) emerged in Malaysia in 1998 and subsequently occurred in Bang-ladesh and India since 2001. In the Malaysia-Singapore outbreak, transmission occurred primarily through contacting with pigs, whereas in Bangladesh and India, it was associated with ingestion of contaminated date palm sap and human-to-human transmission. Risk factors of NIV infection mainly included close contacting with ill pigs, consuming raw date palm sap, and contacting with Nipah cases. At present, no vaccines or antiviral drugs are available for NIV disease and the treatment is just supportive. Nipah virus infections can be prevented by avoiding direct contact with infected patients and host organisms, avoiding of ingestion of date palm sap, frequent hand washing and sanitization while caring for NIV patients. Surveillance for NIV in humans and reservoir animals should be done in affected areas, which helps in detecting early signs of NIV outbreak.
