The Nipah virus (NiV) is a type of RNA virus in the genus Henipavirus, which normally circulates among fruit bats of the genus Pteropus.[7] Spread typically requires direct contact with an infected source; it can both spread between people and from other animals to people. Diagnosis is based on symptoms and confirmed by laboratory testing.[2][1]
Management is restricted to supportive care; as of 2021 there is neither vaccine nor specific treatment.[2] Preventive measures include avoiding exposure to bats and infected animals such as pigs, and not drinking raw date palm sap.[1] As of May 2018 about 700 human cases of Nipah virus were estimated to have occurred, and 50 to 75 percent of those infected died.[4][6][5]
