Fruit bats are known to transmit this virus to other animals like pigs, and also dogs, cats, goats, horses and sheep.
Although the Nipah virus spreads way more slowly than the Coronavirus, the concern that arises is its ability to kill. It has a mortality rate of around 70 per cent, which is way higher than Covid.
