Why and how Nipah virus spread in Kerala? What experts said

Hindustan Times  

In the fourth outbreak of Nipah in Kerala since 2018, a total of six cases have been reported this year putting the state almost under a siege with Covid-like containment zones being put in place. "The first outbreak of Nipah virus in Kerala was in May 2018.The most important thing is that we still don't know how the primary case contracted the disease. A survey by the National Institute of Virology revealed that the Nipah virus is in circulation among the bat population across nine states and one Union Territory. Another cultural reason attributed to Nipah outbreaks is the custom of drinking fresh toddy or sweet tree sap which may get contaminated by infected bats.
