The Nipah virus (NiV) infection is one of the newly emerging deadly zoonotic diseases which carries a significant weightage of mortality among its victims. Due to the relatively recent history of its emergence and only a few known outbreaks, we cannot predict but foresee its potential to create havoc, which can be far more dreadful than the current ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Here we have tried to depict the fatal potential of the virus and the increased propensity with which it can spread to rest of the world.
尼帕病毒(NiV)感染是新出现的致命人畜共患病之一,在其受害者中死亡率很高。由于其出现的历史相对较短,且已知的疫情爆发较少,我们无法预测但能预见其造成破坏的可能性,这可能比当前正在肆虐的新冠疫情更可怕。在此,我们试图描述该病毒的致命潜力以及它向世界其他地区传播的可能性增加的情况。
