Nipah virus is back in the headlines after two cases popped up in West Bengal, India, and officials aren’t taking any chances. With a scary high fatality rate (up to 75%!) and no known cure or vaccine, health agencies are ramping up border surveillance and contact tracing. The virus, spread by bats and pigs, could become more common as the planet warms. For now, everyone’s holding their breath and hoping it doesn’t spread. #Health #BodyHealth #NipahVirus
