India has reported two fresh cases of the deadly Nipah virus, triggering heightened health surveillance across parts of Asia, with countries like Thailand tightening airport screenings. Nipah is a rare but highly lethal zoonotic virus primarily spread by fruit bats, with limited human-to-human transmission. The infection can cause severe complications such as encephalitis, with mortality rates ranging between 45% and 75% in reported outbreaks. Experts stress that while Nipah outbreaks recur almost annually in Bangladesh, there is no evidence the virus is evolving into a highly transmissible human pathogen. This explainer breaks down symptoms, transmission risks, prevention measures, and the status of an experimental vaccine currently in human trials.
