Nipusta

Nipusta is a term that appears to be a misspelling or a less common transliteration. It is most likely intended to refer to "Nipah virus," a zoonotic virus that causes Nipah virus infection. This virus is a newly emerged pathogen that causes severe illness in both humans and animals. The virus can be transmitted to humans from infected animals, such as pigs, bats, and dogs. It can also spread from person to person. Symptoms of Nipah virus infection can range from fever and headache to more severe symptoms like encephalitis and respiratory distress. The virus was first identified in Malaysia in 1998. Since then, outbreaks have been reported in various countries, including India and Bangladesh. There is no specific treatment or vaccine available for Nipah virus infection. Management focuses on supportive care to alleviate symptoms. Public health measures, such as avoiding contact with infected animals and practicing good hygiene, are crucial for preventing transmission. Further research is ongoing to understand the virus and develop effective countermeasures.
