The recent resurgence of the Nipah virus in India has prompted regional health authorities to take precautionary measures, though the World Health Organization (WHO) maintains that the risk of widespread international transmission remains low. According to BOL News, the virus is primarily carried by fruit bats, also known as flying foxes, and has returned to the spotlight following new cases in India. The WHO has stated, 'The risk of further spread of infection from these two cases is low,' and does not recommend any travel or trade restrictions, as reported by The News Pakistan. Despite the low risk, countries like Pakistan have heightened surveillance at entry points, as noted by Dawn, reflecting a cautious but not alarmist approach to the potential threat.
