The Nipah virus is a zoonotic virus that can cause severe disease in both animals and humans, and it has been reported in India.

The claim that the Nipah virus is a zoonotic virus capable of causing severe disease in both animals and humans, and that it has been reported in India, is well supported by the available sources. Multiple references consistently describe Nipah virus as a zoonotic pathogen transmitted primarily from fruit bats to humans and animals such as pigs, causing serious illness including encephalitis and respiratory symptoms. The virus’s presence in India, particularly in states like West Bengal, is confirmed by recent outbreak reports. Although all sources are marked as [Not-Trusted], they cite consistent epidemiological and clinical data aligning with established scientific knowledge about Nipah virus. No sources contradict the core elements of the claim, and the information aligns with recognized facts from global health authorities like WHO and ECDC, despite the lack of direct access to their official pages here. Therefore, the claim is accurate and supported by the majority of the evidence.
