Nipah Virus Infection in Pigs | Merck Veterinary Manual

Nipah virus is a relatively new zoonotic disease affecting humans and pigs. This disease emerged in Malaysia in 1998 and 1999. It was linked to severe encephalitis among people occupationally exposed to infected pigs in Malaysia and Singapore. The disease was eradicated from the national commercial swine population by control efforts. A number of fruit bats of the genus Pteropus seem to be reservoirs
of the virus in Asia.
