Microbiology and Immunology, Volume 70, Issue 1, Page 36-46, January 2026.ABSTRACT Nipah virus (NiV) is a highly pathogenic zoonotic virus transmitted from bats to humans through pigs as a crucial intermediate host. NiV outbreaks pose significant public health and economic threats, especially for pig farmers. Although the World Organization for Animal Health recommends African green monkey‐derived Vero cells for NiV ...
