The World Health Organization (WHO) has recently assessed the risk of the Nipah virus spreading globally as low, following the confirmation of three cases in India and Bangladesh. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stated, 'In the past few weeks, three cases of Nipah—two in India and one in Bangladesh—made headlines and caused concern about a wider outbreak.' Despite these concerns, the WHO's evaluation concluded that the risk remains low both regionally and globally. This assessment comes after two cases were confirmed in West Bengal, India, and one fatality in Bangladesh, as reported by Business Recorder and Tribune Latest. The outbreaks, although occurring along the India-Bangladesh border, are unrelated but share similar ecological conditions, particularly the presence of fruit bats, the natural reservoir of the virus.
