#Nipah virus #infection - #Bangladesh (#WHO D.O.N., September 18 '25)

  Situation at a glance Between 1 January and 29 August 2025, the International Health Regulations National Focal Point (IHR NFP) for Bangladesh notified WHO of four confirmed fatal Nipah virus (NiV) infection cases , temporally unrelated , reported from four different districts across three separated geographical divisions (Barisal, Dhaka, and Rajshahi) in Bangladesh.  NiV infection is a zoonotic disease transmitted to humans through infected animals (such as bats or pigs ), or food contaminated with saliva, urine , and excreta of infected animals .  It can also be transmitted directly from person to person through close contact with an infected person.  Fruit bats or flying foxes (Pteropus species) are the natural hosts for the virus.  Human NiV infection is an epidemic-prone disease that can cause severe disease in humans and animals, with a high mortality rate , and outbreaks primarily occurring in South and South-East Asia .  Since the first recognized...

Genomic #Surveillance Detection of #SARS-CoV-1–Like Viruses in Rhinolophidae #Bats, Bandarban Region, #Bangladesh

Abstract We sequenced sarbecovirus from Rhinolophus spp. bats in Bandarban District , Bangladesh, in a genomic surveillance campaign during 2022–2023. Sequences shared identity with SARS-CoV-1 Tor2, which caused an outbreak of human illnesses in 2003 . Describing the genetic diversity and zoonotic potential of reservoir pathogens can aid in identifying sources of future spillovers.
