Nipah Virus Infection is a serious zoonotic illness that can spread from animals to humans, often through infected bats or contaminated food. It may also transmit through close contact with infected individuals. Symptoms range from fever, headache, and respiratory issues to severe complications like brain inflammation (encephalitis).
The infection can progress rapidly and has a high fatality rate. There is no specific cure, making early detection and supportive care crucial. Preventive measures include avoiding contaminated fruits, maintaining hygiene, and limiting exposure to infected animals or individuals to reduce the risk of transmission.
