+This paper constructs risk maps for Nipah virus (NiV) spillover and transmission in Thailand by combining ecological niche models for the bat reservoir with spatial data related to NiV transmission sources. The study predicts that due to climate change, the range of Lyle’s flying fox, a significant host of NiV in mainland Southeast Asia, is predicted to expand.

+'''2025''' - Antiviral Res
+The study investigates the effect of dexamethasone on Nipah virus-infected Syrian hamsters, finding that while it reduces pulmonary pathology, it does not increase survival.

+'''2011''' - Epidemiol Infect
+This study aimed to describe the transmission dynamics and serological patterns of Nipah virus in Pteropus vampyrus bats over a 1-year period. The findings suggest that NiV circulates in wild bat populations, antibody could be maintained for long periods, maternal antibodies against NiV are transmitted passively, and NiV was isolated from the urine of one bat.

+'''2021''' - Viruses
+The paper investigates the factors driving Nipah virus spillover in Bangladesh by analyzing the relationship between spillover events and climatic conditions, bat roost sizes, and land-use change over the last 300 years. It finds that winter temperature explains 53% of annual winter spillovers and suggests a shift in bat roosting behavior promoting viral spillover.
