Abstract

Nipah virus is deadly RNA virus that spread from bats to humans with high case fatality rate. India witnessed the 6th outbreak in the month of September 2023, while it was the 4th outbreak in the state of Kerala. The man coming into contact with bat secretions like urine or saliva increased the risk of transmission of disease. As the population increases and animal-human interaction or human-environment interaction increases, we need to take a holistic approach to the solution. One Health approach promotes collaborative efforts of many experts working across human, animal, and environmental health to improve the health of people and animals. The important preventive measures undertaking the One Health Approach like strengthening public health system, maintaining environmental health and animal health, health education and ongoing research will help to curb the occurrence and control of outbreaks to greater extent. Keywords: Animal, Environment, Human, Nipah, One Health, Outbreak
