- Human-to-human transmission is frequently documented in Bangladesh and India, particularly in healthcare facilities and among the family and care of infected individuals
- Various diagnostic techniques can be used to detect NiV, including viral isolation, immunohistochemistry, serological, molecular diagnostic techniques, real-time PCR, genome sequencing
