Nipah virus is a dangerous zoonotic virus that is transmitted from animals to humans, with the latest outbreak in India in January 2569 prompting a severe alert in Thailand.The disease has a mortality rate of 40-75% and no specific vaccine or treatment yet.This summarizes important information in the form of interesting news to make it easy to understand and realize the imminent risk.

The origin and history of the outbreak.

The virus was first discovered in 2541 in the village of Suyin Nipah, Malaysia, causing the deaths of 265 pig farmers, accounting for 40% of those infected, as pigs received poison from the fruit flies and then passed on to humans.

Since then, there have been repeated outbreaks in Bangladesh and India almost every year, by 2561 in the Indian state of Greater India, 17 out of 19 (91%) deaths were attributed to hospital contacts.

Last 23 January 2569 West Bengal, India found 5 patients and medical personnel, resulting in the detention of nearly 100 close relatives

How to spread the word

The main one is the fruit ant (Pteropus spp.) which secretes toxins in the urine, saliva or saliva into the fruit or sugar cane, infecting humans by eating contaminated fruit or raw sugar.Other animals such as pigs, horses and goats can get infected and pass to humans through the saliva, and humans can pass on to each other through blood and saliva, especially in hospitals

In Thailand, antibodies to viruses have been found in the wild, especially in the middle of the high-risk region from a densely populated population of 2.3 million.The symptoms and diagnosis are initially similar to influenza, fever, headache, constipation, and constipation within 3-14 days, then develop into epilepsy, confusion, acne, or respiratory failure, high mortality from damage to the nervous and lung systems, with some survivors having permanent brain problems.The diagnosis with PCR is done with blood or jaw water and ELISA is done with antibodies.The latest treatment and vaccine has no antibodies.The virus is still used in specific ways such as airborne infection, as in the treatment of 25th-century BCL1 and the antibody test.The first one is the 25th-century BCL2B1B, which was developed by the Chinese antibody test.

The risk and prevention measures of the Thai Disease Control Agency have been monitored since 23 January 2569 in conjunction with One Health, which examines travellers from India, although no cases have been found in Thailand, but fruit juices in Thailand are at risk of infection. Avoid eating raw fruit or sugar, wear animal gloves, wash hands frequently, wear masks in hazardous areas, and report abnormalities immediately.
