Circulation of Nipah virus at the human-Flying fox interface in Cambodia

Background: Nipah virus (NiV) is an emerging pathogen that, unlike other priority pathogens identified by WHO, is endemic to Southeast Asia. It is transmitted through exposure to saliva, urine or excrement from Pteropus fruit bats or direct contact with intermediate animal hosts or human-to-human transmission. However, little is known about the circulation of NiV and its epidemiology in Cambodia.
