âNipah virus poses a considerable pandemic threat because it mutates relatively easily, causes disease in a wide range of mammals, can transmit from person-to-person, and kills a large percentage of the people it infects,â said NIAID Director Anthony S. Fauci, M.D. âThe need for a preventive Nipah virus vaccine is significant.â
The virus can cause mild-to-severe disease rapidly progressing from respiratory infection symptoms to encephalitis (brain swelling) leading to coma or death. An estimated 40 to 75 percent of people infected with Nipah virus die. Although most cases are transmitted via animals, person-to-person transmission can occur. Currently, there is no licensed vaccine or treatment for Nipah virus infection.
Get that, not even a treatment.
Small miracle, actually a huge miracle, it hasn\'t hit the U.S. yet.
