ABSTRACT

Nipah virus is a pocket RNA virus responsible for severe encephalitis outbreaks mostly in the Indo Bangladesh region. The Nipah virus is the cause of the zoonotic sickness known as Nipah viral disease. (NiV), a paramyxovirus of the genus Henipaviral in the family Paramyxoviridae. This disease was first reported in 1998 in Kampung Sungai Nipah village, Malaysia. Depending on the nature of the virus, NiV patients may develop neurological symptoms and serious respiratory illnesses. Various diseases can be transferred to humans as well as animals. Interesting, the infection pattern between different hosts varies across region due to different exposure methods, diet, and recently discovered genetic/molecular signatures of major diseases associated with violence. This paper represents the transmission, epidemiology, diagnosis and prognosis of nipah virus. Due to the high prevalence and potential of this disease, NIV diagnosis needs to be incorporate into a more global health system to improve public health surveillance and planning. Key words: Nipah virus, epidemiology, prognosis, diagnosis
