=== Summary ===
This paper investigates the genetic diversity of Nipah virus across spatial scales using a comprehensive collection of genomes from bats and humans over 22 years in six countries.

=== Key Findings ===
* Average of 2.4 co-circulating genetic clusters within any bat roost, rising to 5.5 clusters at areas of 1500–2000 km²
* Each genetic cluster occupies an average area of 1.3 million km² (95% confidence interval [CI], .6–2.3 million km²)
* In concentrated genomic surveillance sites in Bangladesh and Cambodia, only approximately 15% of overall NiV diversity has been uncovered

=== Methodology ===
* '''Study Type:''' Study Type not explicitly mentioned
* '''Sample Size:''' N = 257
* '''Geographic Focus:''' ['6 countries']
* '''Time Period:''' 1999–2020

=== Topics ===
Epidemiology, Virology, Genetics

=== Relevance ===
The findings provide valuable insights into the genetic diversity of Nipah virus, which is crucial for understanding its transmission dynamics and developing control strategies.
