নিপাহ ভাইরাসের প্রধান বাহক বাদুড়। এই ভাইরাস প্রতিরোধে কোনো অবস্থাতেই খেজুরের কাঁচা রস খাওয়া যাবে না। নিপাহ ভাইরাস বাদুড় ও শূকর থেকে মানুষে সংক্রমিত হয়ে থাকে। আক্রান্ত বাদুড় কোনো ফল খেলে বা খেজুরের রস পান করলে এটির লালা, প্রস্রাব বা অন্যান্য বর্জ্য দিয়ে সরাসরি সেই ফল বা খেজুরের রস দূষিত হয়ে যায়। কোনো মানুষ যদি সেই ফল খায় বা কাঁচা খেজুরের রস পান করে, তাহলে সে এই ভাইরাসে আক্রান্ত হতে পারে। এ ছাড়া আক্রান্ত মানুষের সরাসরি সংস্পর্শে থেকেও আরেকজন সংক্রমিত হতে পারে।
জানুয়ারি থেকে এপ্রিলের মধ্যে বাংলাদেশে নিপাহ ভাইরাসে আক্রান্ত হওয়ার ঝুঁকি থাকে। এতে মৃত্যুর হার ৫০ শতাংশ থেকে ৮০ শতাংশ পর্যন্ত হতে পারে। তাই নিপাহ ভাইরাস থেকে বাঁচতে খেজুরের কাঁচা রস বা বাদুড় কামড়ানো আংশিক ফল খাওয়া থেকে বিরত থাকুন।

What is Nipah and How to Prevent It / How to secure yourself and kids
How to secure yourself and kids from Nipah Virus Our world is always encountering one or the other type of infections and viruses, and the latest addition being a virus by the name Nipah. Nipah Virus is a type of emerging infectious disease, which broke out in places such as Malaysia and Singapore in the years of 1998 and 1999. First it was detected in pigs and then it moved on to spread among several other domestic animals including dogs, cats, goats, horses, and sheep, among others. The infection, at the time, also, found its way among some several human beings.
What is Nipah Virus? Nipah Virus, long for NiV, infection is a newly emerging zoonosis that has caused severe disease wave in animals as well as humans. Nipah Virus is an infection which gets its name from the village located in Malaysia. That was where the person from whom the virus was first isolated died from the disease. The organism which causes this Nipah Virus encephalitis is RNA (Ribonucleic Acid Virus) of the family Paramyxoviridae, genus Henipavirus, and is actually closely related to Hendra virus. The virus is primarily present in bat urine as well as bat feces, saliva and birthing fluids. Transmissions were, therefore, presumed to be occurred when pigs, who were the victims of this virus, came in contact with the bats that had lost their habitats due to deforestation. Nipah Virus was first identified when a sudden outbreak of disease took place in Kampung Sungai Nipah, Malaysia in the year 1998. This 1998 outbreak found pigs as intermediate hosts. Outbreaks of Bangalore in 2004 saw humans being infected with NiV – it was because of consuming date palm sap, which was contaminated by infected fruit bats. Human to human transmission has also been researched and documented, also in a hospital setting in India. The virus spreads directly from human to human though close contact with people’s secretions and excretions. Symptoms of Nipah Virus One can know one has caught this virus by observing its symptoms. Typical symptoms can be fever, headache, drowsiness, disorientation, mental confusion, coma or potentially, death. Some of these mild symptoms can last up to 7 to 10 days tops. Nipah Virus is usually associated with inflammation of the brain. This can cause severe days of fever which can often lead to a state of confusion, disorientation and even persistent drowsiness. These symptoms can even change into and cause a coma in a span of 24 to 48 years. It has also been found out that many patients also show some neurological, respiratory as well as some pulmonary signs. It is, therefore, not wise to ignore such signs. Watching out for some kind of respiratory illness during the early stages is necessary for early detection as well. Because people didn’t know what to expect, up to 50% of clinically apparent human cases died in the first outbreak in Malaysia. Sadly though, there is no specific treatment for Nipah Virus – the only primarily treatment for humans is of intensive supportive care. Treatment and cure of Nipah Virus Even though there is no vaccine made yet enough to cure the infection, preventive measure can be taken to control its spread and the effect on the human on its symptoms. Drinking raw date palm sap bitten by bats can also cause NiV – therefore it is advised that people should stay away from consuming date palm for some time. Hospitals should make people aware of the signs and symptoms and the process of transmission to avoid human to human infections in such infectious settings. Detection is quite an issue when it comes to NiV and therefore, you have to be extra careful. If you feel that you are feeling symptoms which are likely to be passed off as NiV’s symptoms, then it would be better to get tested thoroughly from a top quality, recognized facility. Tell your kids to avoid eating fruits from outside or given by anyone, it could be dangerous if consumed fruits without checking. The farm animals can be prevented from eating fruits contaminated by the bats, because fruit bats are actually the primary cause of infection. Physical barriers should be put in place so that the bats can be kept out from accessing and contaminating palm sap. Medical officials confirmed that taking basic precautions like washing hands, using a gown, cap mask along with wearing gloves can help a lot. Washing yourself with safe, clean and hygienic water can help a lot too. If you want to keep your child away from this, make sure that you maintain your child’s hygiene along with your own. In case of animals, wire screens can be used to help to prevent contact with bats when animals are raised in open-sided sheds. To beat Nipah, extra precautions are necessary. Read the full article

Nipah virus is a new zoonotic disease that severely affects the animals and humans too. Do you know What is nipah virus? This virus was formerly identified in Malaysia and Singapore in 1998.
