About Nipah Virus
What it is. Nipah virus causes disease that can spread between animals and people. Nipah virus is carried by fruit bats (genus Pteropus), also known as flying foxes. In 1999, Nipah was first discovered following an outbreak in pigs and people in Malaysia and Singapore. Three hundred people got sick and more than one hundred of those people died.
