What types of meat are at risk of Nipah virus contamination?

Based on the context of Nipah virus infection, it is recommended that individuals in endemic regions avoid consuming raw or undercooked meat from animals that may be infected with the virus, such as bats, pigs, and horses. In particular, raw date palm sap contaminated by fruit bats is a known source of Nipah virus transmission. To minimize the risk of transmission, it is advised to avoid consuming raw or unpasteurized animal products, including meat, milk, and other dairy products, from potentially infected animals. If consumption of meat is necessary, it is recommended to choose cooked and properly handled products from reputable sources. Additionally, individuals should take precautions when handling animals or their products, such as wearing protective gear and washing hands thoroughly. In terms of specific meats, it is best to avoid consuming raw or undercooked pork, horse meat, and other exotic meats that may be at risk of contamination. If an individual has been exposed to Nipah virus or is at high risk of exposure, they should seek medical attention immediately and follow proper infection control protocols to minimize the risk of transmission.
