Abstract

Kerala has been on high alert due to mysterious deaths of peoples because of an unidentified viral attack. Out of these, three were reported to be caused by Nipah Virus (NiV). As per the National Institute of Virology, Pune, Nipah Virus is the sole cause of these three deaths. The Nipah virus (NiV) has claimed ten lives, including a nurse who left a heartbreaking note to her family, in Kerala. Around two more have been confirmed to have contracted the disease, and 40 others have been quarantined. An unheard virus, NiV is yet to be understood by many. Here is what the virus is all about.
