Nipah virus is an extremely dangerous pathogen that first emerged in Malaysia in 1998, initially spreading from pigs to humans. Today, its primary transmission routes are from fruit bats or through human-to-human transmission via close contact with bodily fluids.
The disease carries a very high fatality rate, ranging from 40% to 75%, and often causes severe encephalitis, leaving some survivors with long-term neurological effects such as seizures or personality changes.
A recent outbreak in West Bengal, India has prompted countries like Taiwan and Thailand to heighten their alert levels by screening travelers and classifying Nipah as a specially monitored infectious disease, even though no cases have been confirmed in those regions.
Despite being a serious public health threat—and having previously led Singapore to ban pig blood imports to prevent transmission—official sources emphasize that Nipah virus is not a global pandemic on the scale of COVID-19 at this time.
