Isolation and molecular identification of Nipah virus from pigs
An outbreak of febrile encephalitis with high death rates (~56%) occurred among pig farmers in a pig-farming community in Tambun, Perak, Malaysia, in 1998 (Wong et al., 2002). The disease spread southward within four to six months to several other pigfarming communities near or around Seremban, a c...
