biological weapon - Opis:
- This article aims at presenting Nipah virus (NiV), which is becoming a serious threat for animal breeding, as a zoonotic agent and as a potential biological weapon. Nipah virus is a paramyxovirus, genus Henipavirus, whose reservoir host are is fruit bats of the genus Pteropus. The virus can cause severe respiratory disease in resulting in significant economic losses, and also in other animals: horses, cattle, and in cats and dogs. Clinical signs in pigs vary, depending on the age and the individual response to the virus. In general, mortality is low, except in piglets. however, morbidity is high in all age groups. If an outbreak is suspected, the animal premises should be quarantined immediately. Culling of animals with respiratory signs and the close supervision of burial or incineration of carcasses may be necessary to reduce the risk of NiV transmission to people. Restricting or banning the movement of animals from infected farms to other areas can reduce the spread of the disease. The Nipah virus can be transmitted to humans from bats or pigs or from contaminated foods. It can also be transmitted directly between humans. Resulting severe illness is characterized by encephalitis and/or respiratory disease and fatality rate is estimated at 40% to 75%. There is one vaccine available for both people and animals. The NiV to be considered as potential agent of bioterrorism.
