	CIDRAP >> Nipah Virus
		Nipah, an emerging medical and veterinary concern, is a virus that mainly affects pigs and humans.
		Nipah virus has been shown to cause clinical disease in swine and humans as well as serologic changes in several common farm animals and in various bat species.
		Nipah is presumably derived from a fruit bat virus that spread to swine and adapted over a few years in closely confined swine herds.

	Nipah Virus Infection: Introduction - The Merck Veterinary Manual
		Nipah virus disease is a newly discovered disease of swine and humans associated with infection with a new paramyxovirus given the name Nipah virus.
		The virus is assumed to have been introduced into the swine population from 1 of the 2 species of Pteropus found with Nipah virus antibodies during investigation of the outbreak.
		Transmission of the virus from infected pigs to humans was largely in an occupational setting, and a study of risk factors associated with human infection suggests that close contact with live infected swine is the means of infection of nearly all human Nipah virus infections.
