The Nipah virus is extremely virulent and has been linked to neurological and respiratory diseases in both humans and animals. Fruit bats, virus-containing fruit and date juice consumed by animals, as well as airborne droplets, are the main sources of the virus's dissemination. Over the previous decades, Asian countries have experienced several epidemics and significant fatality rates.
