This virus, related to the deadly Nipah virus, raises concerns about human transmission and potential pandemics. Scientists are now working on vaccines to prevent this virus from spreading.

Scientists Uncover Structure of Critical Component in Deadly Nipah Virus Jan. 20, 2025 — Researchers have profiled the molecular structure and features of a key part of the deadly Nipah virus.

The matrix (M1) protein is associated with both ribonucleoprotein and the viral envelope. A small amount of non-structural protein 2 is also present, but its location within the virion is unknown.

Nipah virus (NiV), a zoonotic paramyxovirus with significant human health implications, has garnered considerable attention due to its high fatality rates and potential for human-to-human ...

Researchers in the US have started a clinical trial of a vaccine against Nipah virus, a serious infection caught from animals that has a fatality rate of between 40% and 70%, developed by mRNA ...

The virus was detected in patients who displayed symptoms similar to the Nipah virus, had consumed raw date juice, and had encephalitis or brain inflammation, according to IEDCR Director Tahmina ...
