  1. Ykkösaamussa keskustellaan parhaillaan tästä #Nipah-viruksesta otsakkeella "Onko tämä seuraava #korona?"

    Olli Vapalahti onneksi sanoi, että tuskin on.

    Mutta kyseessä on hyvin vakava ja kuollettava tauti, jota Intiassa on - ilmeisimmin taas - rypäksiä.

  2. Australia urged to plan and prepare for Nipah virus after 2 confirmed cases in India's West Bengal.
    COVID lessons — monitor travellers, have response plans ready. No vaccine exists, ~50% fatality in severe cases (encephalitis, pneumonia). Risk to Aus low, but consequences could be serious.

  3. In de Indiase deelstaat West-Bengalen zijn besmettingen met het nipahvirus vastgesteld, een ziekte die vooral door vleerhonden wordt overgedragen. In Nederland is het risico op een infectie met het nipahvirus verwaarloosbaar.

    Voor reizigers naar West-Bengalen gelden de algemene reisadviezen om de kans op het krijgen van het virus kleiner te maken.

  4. No vaccine, no cure: Nipah virus is back in the news.
    India (West Bengal) just confirmed 2 cases in healthcare workers — one recovering, one critical. Contacts tested negative, and WHO says low risk of wider spread.
    Deadly zoonotic virus (40-75% fatality) from fruit bats, spreads via close contact or contaminated food. High alert in parts of Asia, but not easily transmissible person-to-person.

    Key points:

    - zoononic: spreads from bats via pigs to humans
    - 40~75% fatality rate
    - no effective drugs or vaccines
    - mostly spreads through bodily fluids & close contact
    - person-to-person spread is difficult, usually caregivers contracting it from patients
    - most likely human infection vector outside of pig contact is contaminated food

    on that note of #NipahVirus #India

    abc.net.au/news/2026-01-29/wha

    "The illness has a 40 to 75% fatality rate in humans (WHO).

    While it can spread from person to person, it does not do this easily, and outbreaks are usually small and fairly contained (EU Centre for Disease Prevention).

    The virus is most commonly spread by #fruitbats. Consumption of fruit or fruit products -like raw date palm juice-containing saliva or urine from infected fruit #bats is a most likely source of infection."

  10. India reports two confirmed Nipah virus cases in West Bengal, with nearly 200 contacts traced and tested negative so far. Authorities say the outbreak is contained, but neighboring countries step up screening. 🌍🦠 More via Euronews: youtu.be/4_gmLKvyyeY #NipahVirus #India #Health #yt
