Two new cases of the rare but deadly Nipah virus have been reported in India—here’s what you need to know 🦠 Health officials confirmed infections in West Bengal, with one patient improving and the other in critical care. Nipah is a zoonotic virus carried by fruit bats and has a fatality rate as high as 75%, which is why even small outbreaks draw concern. The virus can spread through fruit or raw date palm sap contaminated by bats, and in some cases through close human contact. Experts say outbreaks tend to peak in winter months, when habitat loss and food shortages push bats closer to people. ⚠️ There’s currently no approved vaccine or specific treatment, but health authorities say the risk of widespread or global spread remains low and the outbreak appears contained. 🔗 Tap the link in bio for a full breakdown of Nipah virus symptoms, transmission, and why experts say another pandemic is unlikely. #healthnews #nipahvirus #infectiousdisease #publichealth #globalhealth #medicalnew...
