Nipah disease is a highly fatal zoonosis which is caused by the Nipah virus. The Nipah virus is a BSL-4 virus with fruit bats being its natural host. It is mainly prevalent in Southeast Asia. The virus was first discovered in 1997 in Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. Currently, it is mainly harmful to pigs and humans with a high mortality rate. This study describes the route of transmission of the Nipah virus in different countries and analyzes the possibility of the primary disease being in China and the method of its transmission to China. The risk factors are analyzed for different susceptible populations to Nipah disease. The aim is to improve people's risk awareness and prevention and control of the disease and reduce its risk of occurring and spreading in China.
尼帕病毒病是一种由尼帕病毒引起的高致命性人畜共患病。尼帕病毒是一种 BSL-4 病毒，其天然宿主是果蝠。它主要流行于东南亚。该病毒于 1997 年在马来西亚森美兰州首次被发现。目前，它主要对猪和人类有害，死亡率很高。本研究描述了尼帕病毒在不同国家的传播途径，并分析了该病原发地在中国的可能性及其传入中国的方式。对不同易感人群感染尼帕病的危险因素进行了分析。目的是提高人们对该病的风险意识和防控能力，降低其在中国发生和传播的风险。
