| Abstrakt: | For centuries, zoonotic diseases have been responsible for various outbreaks resulting in the deaths of millions of people. The best example of this is the current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Like severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus, Nipah virus is another deadly virus which has caused several outbreaks in the last few years. Though it causes a low number of infections, disease severity results in a higher death rate. In the context of the recent COVID-19 pandemic, we speculate that many countries will be unable to deal with the sudden onset of such a viral outbreak. Thus, further research and attention to the virus are needed to address future outbreaks. (© 2021 The Author(s).) |
