Abstract

NIPAH VIRUS: A HORRIBLE THREAT

Sayali C. Dudhal*, Kiran R. Thorat, Gitanjali S. Mehetre, Sachin K. Hodgar

ABSTRACT

Nipah virus infection in humans causes a range of clinical presentations, from asymptomatic infection (subclinical) to acute respiratory infection and fatal encephalitis. The case fatality rate is estimated at 40% to 75%. This rate can vary by outbreak depending on local capabilities for epidemiological surveillance and clinical management. Nipah virus can be transmitted to humans from animals (such as bats or pigs), or contaminated foods and can also be transmitted directly from human-to-human. Fruit bats of the “Pteropodidae” family are the natural host of Nipah virus. There is no treatment or vaccine available for either people or animals. The virus was also able to spread from farm to farm through transportation of unidentified infected pigs. Most likely the workers whom were infected can in direct contact with saliva or other respiratory secretions from an infected pig.

Keywords: Nipah virus infection (NiV), Paramyxoviradae, Henipavirus, RNA viruses etc.
