ABSTRACT

Nipah virus (NiV) is belongs to genus of Henipavirus, which is a zoonotic and deadly virus with a high mortality rate that has affected many of the countries in the past and present. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), many economically deprived countries such as Africa and South Asia are also at high risk for future outbreaks. The first case of NiV was reported in 1998 at Malaysia and almost two decades later, the first case was reported in India at 2001. As many developing countries are not properly equipped to fight the infection and the vaccine against NiV, it is vital to properly educate the health systems. The aim of this review is to provide epidemiological conditions as well as to understand the presentation, transmission routes and the various new diagnostic methods and prevention of this deadly virus. Keywords: Nipah virus (NiV), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Mode of Transmission
