After suffering for 3 years with the Corona virus and its variants, after the severity of the virus decreased, and the beginning of recovery from the effects of the terrifying pandemic, scientists began to warn about the “Nipah” virus, which is transmitted from bats, pigs, and animals.
Although it did not begin to spread, some virologists in Russia warned of the danger of the “Nipah” virus, which had already begun to spread in India, and it was said that it was likely to cause a new pandemic in the world.
Russian scientists said that the Nipah virus could turn into a pandemic if genetic changes occurred in the virus.
One Russian scientist said that the Nipah virus is a viral disease that originates from bats, and is currently spreading in India, Bangladesh, and some countries in Southeast Asia.
Given that the virus has not spread widely and cases of infection in India and Southeast Asia remain few and not high, we advise virologists not to travel to countries where infections from this virus have been recorded.
Virologists advised washing fruits and vegetables well, washing hands, and wearing masks, because there is currently no vaccine against this virus, and there are no medications against it.
The disease is transmitted from animals to humans and from an infected person to others, as well as through contaminated foods and respiratory droplets.
The disease may not show symptoms, or with symptoms of mild or severe respiratory infection, or encephalitis, and in the latter case it can lead to coma and death.
The outbreak has so far occurred in the city of Kozhikode in the Indian state of Kerala, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The Nipah virus was discovered in 1998 in Malaysia among pig farmers who lived on the Nipah River, so it was given this name.
