Absence of Nipah virus antibodies in pigs in Mizoram State, North East India

In nature, NiV is found in bats which cause severe disease in pigs and humans. Because of high case fatality rates in humans, it is classified as a Risk Group 4 pathogen[4]. All the 1113 serum samples from Mizoram State were tested negative for anti-NiV IgG-antibodies. [...]NiV-specific IgG and NiV...

Description
Summary:In nature, NiV is found in bats which cause severe disease in pigs and humans. Because of high case fatality rates in humans, it is classified as a Risk Group 4 pathogen[4]. All the 1113 serum samples from Mizoram State were tested negative for anti-NiV IgG-antibodies. [...]NiV-specific IgG and NiV RNA have only been detected from one P. giganteus bat from Myanaguri, West Bengal, in 2009 and further in P. giganteus bat populations of West Bengal and Assam State[7],[8],[9],[11]. [...]the present data highlights the need for systematic proactive surveillance of NiV in pig population of northeastern region for keeping track on any emergence of NiV, especially in the States bordering Bangladesh.
