You and I were just emerging from the Corona epidemic when another dangerous virus knocked in the country. We are talking about the Nipah virus. Due to this dangerous virus, there is an outcry in many states of the country, especially in Kerala. This is a virus spreading from animals to humans. Let us know what this Nipah virus is. How does it spread? What are its symptoms and how can it is prevented?

What is the Nipah virus?

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Nipah virus infection is a genetic disease, which means it can spread from animals to people. It can also spread through contaminated food or directly from one person to another. This viral infection spreads mainly through bats. Apart from this, it affects animals like pigs, dogs, cats and horses. Even if someone accidentally eats the fruits eaten by these animals, there is a risk of infection. A person infected with this virus may be at risk of serious respiratory diseases as well as diseases like encephalitis. Whereas in cases infected with the Nipah virus, the mortality rate remains between 40 to 75 percent. When a person is infected with Nipah virus, symptoms start appearing within 4 to 14 days.

What are the symptoms of the Nipah virus?

  • Infected persons may have trouble breathing.
  • Neurological problems may be seen in some patients.
  • This also includes fever, headache, nausea and cough.
  • Fainting, fatigue, blurred vision, and confusion are also included.

What are the preventive measures? (Is there a cure for Nipah?)

According to the World Health Organization, the only way to avoid this virus is prevention. The more you protect yourself, the better it is for you, because there is no medicine or vaccine available in the market to prevent the Nipah virus. If you eat fruits, wash the fruits thoroughly. Avoid eating fruits gnawed by any animal. Wash hands with soap. Avoid touching your eyes and mouth repeatedly. If you see some symptoms in the beginning, then consult a doctor without wasting time.
