Nipah Virus is a deadly zoonotic virus that causes a wide range of
symptoms, from asymptomatic disease to acute respiratory distress and
encephalitis, both of which can prove fatal. India has tackled outbreaks
of Nipah virus constantly throughout the years, and is facing another
rise in cases yet again. Although India has dealt with outbreaks of many
infectious diseases in the past, it is imperative to focus fully on
limiting the further spread of the lethal Nipah virus to limit
mortality. Proper implementation of standard infective protocol as well
as using a strict surveillance system are some important steps that must
be taken in order to dismantle the looming possibility of full-blown
worldwide endemics due to Nipah virus.
