India has experienced multiple Nipah virus outbreaks since 2001, including repeated events in Kerala and cases reported in West Bengal in 2026. This review synthesizes evidence on epidemiology, bat reservoir ecology, viral genomics, and health system responses from 2001 to 2026. The dataset, authored by Sunit K. Singh, is a 13.5 KB Excel file last updated on May 21, 2026.
Use Cases
- Analyze temporal and geographic patterns of Nipah virus spillover events in India based on the described outbreak timeline.
- Compare transmission dynamics and case-fatality rates between the Indian, Malaysian, and Bangladeshi contexts as mentioned in the description.
- Assess the influence of ecological and socio-economic factors on spillover risk based on described drivers like deforestation and bat roost proximity.
- Review India's shift from reactive outbreak control to a proactive 'One Health' framework based on the described preparedness strategies.
Strengths
- Covers a 25-year time span from 2001 to 2026.
