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.#NipahVirus #PublicHealth #India #Zoonotic #covid

What is the #relationship between #viral #prospecting in #animals and medical #countermeasure development? MedRxIV: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.08.09.24311747v1
With #Filoviridae as a case study, we show there is little #evidence to suggest that viral prospecting has accelerated countermeasure development or that systematically discovering novel #zoonotic viruses in animal hosts before they cause human outbreaks has been feasible.

#Zoonotic #infections by avian #influenza virus: changing global #epidemiology, #investigation, and #control, Lancet Infect Dis.: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3099(24)00234-2/abstract
Avian influenza virus continues to pose zoonotic, #epizootic, and #pandemic #threats worldwide, as exemplified by the 2020–23 epizootics of re-emerging #H5 #genotype avian influenza viruses among #birds and #mammals and the fatal jump to humans of emerging A(#H3N8) in early 2023.
