The Nipah virus —a disease transmitted to humans through animals— keeps health authorities on alert, although experts stress that the current risk to Puerto Rico remains low and that there are no confirmed cases on the Island or in the Americas.
Although the Nipah virus was first detected in Malaysia in 1999, it has been reported again by an outbreak in West Bengal, India. In nearly 30 years, 750 cases have been recorded in humans, especially in Bangladesh and eastern India.
