Nipah Virus Transmission in a Hamster Model [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2011 Based on epidemiological data, it is believed that human-to-human transmission plays an important role in Nipah virus outbreaks. No experimental data are currently available on the potential routes of human-to-human transmission of Nipah virus.

Foodborne Transmission of Nipah Virus in Syrian Hamsters [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2014 Since 2001, outbreaks of Nipah virus have occurred almost every year in Bangladesh with high case-fatality rates. Epidemiological data suggest that in Bangladesh, Nipah virus is transmitted from the natural reservoir, fruit bats, to humans via ...

Nipah Virus Shedding in Urine from Fruit Bats, Sri Lanka, 2018–2019 [PDF]
Emerging Infectious DiseasesNipah virus causes outbreaks in humans with high case-fatality rates. In this study, we confirmed the presence of Nipah virus in Sri Lanka in Pteropus medius fruit bats, one of the known natural reservoir species. Sequences we generated were genetically

Recurrent Zoonotic Transmission of Nipah Virus into Humans, Bangladesh, 2001–2007
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009 Human Nipah outbreaks recur in a specific region and time of year in Bangladesh. Fruit bats are the reservoir host for Nipah virus. We identified 23 introductions of Nipah virus into human populations in central and northwestern Bangladesh from 2001 ...
