The deadly Nipah virus can be spread from person to person, and through the consumption of contaminated fruit.
Drug therapies and vaccines that can specifically combat the Nipah virus infection are currently in development, which means that treatment is currently limited to intensive care, pain relief, and the treatment of specific symptoms as they occur.
Nipah virus symptoms are wide-ranging and can take as long as 45 days to emerge, though the typical incubation period is believed to be between four and 14 days.However, early symptoms can include fever, headaches, muscle pain, coughing, vomiting, difficulties breathing, and a sore throat. More serious illnesses can follow, such as disorientation, drowsiness, confusion, severe respiratory problems, and seizures., which is an inflammation of the brain that can leave patients comatose, and can also cause long-term health issues.
The WHO says that around 20 percent of those who survive acute encephalitis develop further neurological consequences, which can include personality changes or epilepsy. In some cases, an initial recovery can precede delayed onset encephalitis. Fruit bats, also known as flying foxes, are the Nipah virus' natural hosts, and can spread it by contaminating food.
