Epidemic situation of Nipah Virus in the world

Abstract

Abstract: Nipah virus (NiV), a zoonotic pathogen, has become a great threat to humans and domestic animals health. It can be transmitted through direct contact or aerosols, causing infection or even death in humans or animals. This article summarizes the countries and regions where NiV outbreaks and epidemics have occurred since the first patient in Malaysia in 1998 and analyzed the main transmission ways of NiV. The Results show that the Nipah virus infection had spread from the Western Pacific Region to Southeast Asia in a rising trend. Guangxi, Yunnan and other southern regions in China are high-risk areas of NiV. Increasing surveillance and preventative measures for the viral infectious disease are urgently needed.

Key words: Nipah virus, Prevalent trend, Zoonosis
