Between September 1998 and May 1999, 265 cases of encephalitis were reported from among those involved in pig rearing. A few cases were also reported among abattoir workers. This raised questions of the risk of transmission among those who handled raw pork. A serosurvey was conducted among pork sellers in Seremban town, which is about 20 km from one of the pig rearing areas which had reported cases of encephalitis. It was found that out of the 28 pork sellers tested, only one tested positive for Nipah virus antibodies and that this pork seller also worked in an abattoir in the same district, removing the urinary bladders from slaughtered pigs. Based on these findings, it was concluded that the risk of transmission of the virus from handling raw pork appeared to be low.
1998年9月至1999年5月期间，养猪人员中有265例脑炎病例报告。屠宰场工人中也报告了少数病例。这引发了从事生猪肉处理工作的人员之间病毒传播风险的问题。在芙蓉镇的猪肉销售商中进行了一项血清学调查，芙蓉镇距离报告有脑炎病例的一个养猪区约20公里。结果发现，在接受检测的28名猪肉销售商中，只有一人尼帕病毒抗体检测呈阳性，且该猪肉销售商也在同一地区的一家屠宰场工作，负责摘除屠宰猪的膀胱。基于这些发现，得出的结论是，处理生猪肉传播该病毒的风险似乎较低。
