Abstract

Nipah virus (NiV), originally identified in Malaysia, has evolved into an endemic concern in Southern India. Over the years, recurrent outbreaks have been observed, particularly in the state of Kerala. This persistence suggests a localized adaptation of NiV-carrying bats, contributing to the region's vulnerability. In response to this ongoing threat, regular screening initiatives and advocating for the safe consumption of products derived from palm trees emerge as critical strategies. By addressing these key factors, there is a potential to mitigate the endemicity of Nipah virus in Southern India, safeguarding public health and enhancing the region's resilience against future outbreaks.
