Nipah disease is listed as one of the WHO priority diseases that pose the greatest public health risk due to their epidemic potential. More than 200 experts from around the world convened in Singapore last year to mark the 20th anniversary of the first Nipah virus outbreaks in Malaysia and Singapore. Most of these experts are now involved in responding to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Here, members of the Organizing Committee of the 2019 Nipah Virus International Conference review highlights from the Nipah@20 Conference and reflect on key lessons learned from Nipah that could be applied to the understanding of the COVID-19 pandemic and to preparedness against future emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) of pandemic potential.
尼帕病被世界卫生组织列为对公众健康构成最大威胁的优先疾病之一，因为它们具有流行潜力。去年，来自世界各地的 200 多名专家在新加坡聚会，纪念马来西亚和新加坡首次爆发尼帕病毒 20 周年。这些专家大多现在都在参与应对 2019 冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行。在这里，2019 年尼帕病毒国际会议组织委员会的成员回顾了尼帕@20 会议的重点，并思考了从尼帕病中吸取的关键经验教训，这些经验教训可以应用于对 COVID-19 大流行的理解，以及为未来具有大流行潜力的新发传染病（EID）做好准备。
