Bats in Bengal Show No Active Nipah Virus

Scientists in West Bengal tested nine bats near Kuberpur to see if they had the Nipah virus.

None of the bats had an active infection, but one had antibodies showing it was infected in the past.

This means the bat was sick before but isn't sick now and can't spread the virus.

The scientists are still checking more bats to be sure.

Two nurses in the state recently got the Nipah virus, but doctors don't know where they caught it.

The nurses are getting better, and doctors are teaching other medical workers how to handle Nipah cases.

The state is also forming a special team to make sure they are ready for any future cases.
