About this episode
In this week’s episode we discussed the Nipah virus. A virus with a high fatality rate, no widely available treatment, and the potential to spark outbreaks. This rare but deadly zoonotic disease has caused outbreaks in parts of India and Asia. We break down where it comes from, how it spreads, why it’s so dangerous, and what scientists are doing to prevent future outbreaks.
