Epidemiology, clinical characteristics, and genetic diversity of Nipah virus strains from Bangladesh: 2016-2023
7 Aug 2025
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Nipah virus (NiV) causes deadly outbreaks in Bangladesh, with a fatality rate of 71%. Two sublineages, NiV-BD 1 and NiV-BD 2, have been identified. This study aimed to characterize their epidemiologic and clinical diversity. METHODS: This study analyzed 21 new (2016-2023) and 17 previously (2012-2015) reported NiV genome sequences and compared sublineages using descriptive and bivariate analysis....
