Russia (bbabo.net) - In Russia, the emergence of the Nipah virus has not been recorded, said the head of Rospotrebnadzor Anna Popova.

“We are trying very hard to prevent it from happening, because it would be extremely unpleasant, this is a dangerous infection,” she said in an interview with RIA Novosti.

In addition, according to Popova, our country already has test systems from the Vector research center that detect this virus.

Recall that the World Health Organization considers that the Nipah virus is one of the most dangerous in the world. There is currently no cure or vaccine for it.

The virus causes fever and encephalopathy, with a fatality rate of 40 to 75 percent.

In autumn, symptoms of the Nipah virus were detected in 11 people in India. They were in contact with a boy who died from this infection.
