There is no definitive treatment for Nipah encephalitis apart from supportive measures. These are mechanical ventilation and prevention of secondary infection.

Ribavirin, an antiviral drug, was tested in the Malaysian outbreak, and the results were encouraging, though further studies are still needed.

No vaccine currently exists.

However a recent study of a trial vaccine developed using the outer proteins of Hendra virus was shown to protect against Nipah.

What are special structure of Nipah?

Nipah virus has a distinctive structure characterized by its enveloped, spherical shape and a non-segmented negative-sense RNA genome. The virus is composed of a lipid membrane derived from the host cell, containing glycoproteins that facilitate entry into host cells by binding to specific receptors. Its nucleocapsid, which encases the viral RNA, is helical in symmetry. These structural features contribute to its pathogenicity and ability to evade the immune response.
