China’s infamous Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), ground zero for the worldwide Wuhan coronavirus outbreak, has offered to help India contain an outbreak of the dangerous Nipah virus, even as Indian officials claim the outbreak is coming under control. “This finding is the first to demonstrate the therapeutic potential of VV116 against Nipah virus,” the WIV said in a statement on Monday. Indian officials have reported two confirmed cases of Nipah in the state of West Bengal since December. “It is possible that further exposure to Nipah virus could occur, given the known reservoir of Nipah virus in bat populations in some part of India and Bangladesh, including West Bengal. Indonesia, Thailand, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Nepal have nevertheless increased screening for airline passengers from West Bengal.
