Abstract
Background: Nipah virus (NiV) is a zoonotic pathogen with pandemic potential. Understanding the immune response to this pathogen is important for developing vaccines and therapeutics. This study aims to characterize viral load, host immune kinetics, and biomarker progression throughout NiV infection.
