NEW DELHI: Authorities in India are scrambling to contain a rare outbreak of Nipah, a virus spread from animals to humans that causes deadly fever with a high mortality rate. Here is a look at what we know so far: The first Nipah outbreak was recorded in 1998 after the virus spread among pig farmers in Malaysia. The virus is named after the village where it was discovered. Outbreaks are rare but Nipah has been listed by the World Health Organization (WHO) - alongside Ebola, Zika and Covid-19 - as one of several diseases deserving of priority research for their potential to cause a global epidemic.
