Nipah virus (NiV) is a deadly virus with a high mortality rate that has affected many developing countries in the past. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), many economically deprived countries such as Madagascar, Cambodia, and Thailand are also at high risk for future outbreaks. The first case of NiV was reported in 1998 and almost two decades later, little scientific progress has been made in finding a proper treatment and prevention vaccine. As many developing countries are not properly equipped to fight the infection, it is vital to properly educate the health systems. The aim of this review is to provide an epidemiological background as well as to understand the transmission routes, presentation, and the diagnosis and prevention of this deadly virus.
尼帕病毒（NiV）是一种致死率很高的致命病毒，过去曾影响许多发展中国家。根据美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）的数据，许多经济贫困的国家，如马达加斯加、柬埔寨和泰国，未来爆发疫情的风险也很高。1998年报告了首例尼帕病毒病例，近二十年后，在寻找合适的治疗方法和预防疫苗方面几乎没有取得科学进展。由于许多发展中国家没有适当的能力来应对这种感染，对卫生系统进行适当的教育至关重要。本综述的目的是提供流行病学背景，以及了解这种致命病毒的传播途径、临床表现、诊断和预防方法。
