In January 2026, an outbreak of Nipah virus occurred in West Bengal, India, with 5 confirmed cases attracting global attention. This virus, with a mortality rate as high as 40%-75%, spreads through fruit bats, contaminated food, and human-to-human contact, with an incubation period of up to 45 days. Currently, there are no specific drugs or vaccines available. Faced with such a dangerous virus, personal protection and scientific disinfection have become the key lines of defense. The ultraviolet germicidal lamps produced by Lightbest, relying on their efficient sterilization capability, provide a reliable virus prevention and control solution for public places and households.

Nipah Virus: A Latent Lethal Threat

Nipah virus belongs to the Paramyxoviridae family, and its natural host is fruit bats. It can be transmitted to humans through contaminated fruits, date palm sap, or animal body fluids. Infected individuals initially present with fever, headache, and myalgia, which may rapidly progress to encephalitis or acute respiratory distress syndrome, leading to coma within 24-48 hours and a very high mortality rate. More critically, the virus can spread through droplets, body fluids, and even hospital environments, posing a risk of clustered infections. The World Health Organization (WHO) has listed it as a "priority pathogen," emphasizing the need to strengthen monitoring and prevention.

Preventing Nipah Virus: Blocking the Transmission Chain is Key

Currently, preventing Nipah virus infection requires efforts in the following aspects:

1. Avoid contact with sources of infection: Stay away from fruit bat habitats, do not consume fruits or raw date palm sap contaminated by bats; avoid contact with intermediate hosts such as sick pigs in epidemic areas.

2. Strict personal protection: Wear gloves, masks, and goggles when handling animals or caring for patients; wash skin immediately with soap and water after contact with contaminants.

3. Food hygiene management: Thoroughly wash and peel fruits before consumption, avoid drinking unboiled fresh juices; fully heat food to kill the virus.

4. Isolation and disinfection: Confirmed patients should be isolated separately; their secretions and vomit should be treated with chlorine-containing disinfectants; continuous air disinfection in hospital wards is necessary to prevent aerosol transmission.

Treatment Dilemma and Scientific Response

There is no specific drug for Nipah virus infection, and treatment is mainly symptomatic and supportive, including reducing fever, rehydration, respiratory support, and lowering intracranial pressure. Critically ill patients need professional monitoring in isolation wards, and preventing cross-infection has become the key to reducing mortality. At this time, efficient and safe air disinfection equipment is particularly important.

Lightbest Ultraviolet Germicidal Lamp: An "Invisible Guard" for Virus Prevention

In medical settings, airborne viruses are the main source of iatrogenic infections. The ultraviolet germicidal lamps developed by Lightbest directly destroy the DNA and RNA structure of microorganisms through 253.7nm wavelength ultraviolet light, achieving a 99.9% sterilization rate and providing a scientific tool for Nipah virus prevention and control:

1. Efficient Dynamic Sterilization

· In infectious disease isolation wards, Lightbest ultraviolet germicidal lamps can perform real-time sterilization on air and object surfaces, effectively inactivating pathogens including Nipah virus, bacteria, and viruses.

· Experiments have proven that its products can complete air circulation disinfection in 0.3 seconds, avoiding secondary pollution from chemical disinfectants and ensuring the dual safety of medical staff and patients.

2. Intelligent Safety Design

· Equipped with an intelligent chip and infrared sensor module, it realizes "lights off when people come, lights on when people leave," avoiding the risk of direct ultraviolet radiation and ensuring safe use in a human-machine coexistence environment.

· The lamp tube adopts low-pressure mercury vapor technology, with stable ultraviolet output and an attenuation rate much lower than national standards, ensuring long-term efficient operation.

3. Multi-scenario Application Solutions

· For different scenarios such as hospitals, food processing plants, and data centers, Lightbest provides one-stop "equipment + solution" services. For example, it designs an ultraviolet + ozone synergistic disinfection system for food workshops to solve the sterilization problem in high-humidity environments; it develops intelligent air germicidal lamps for households, supporting scheduled disinfection and automatic shutdown with human body induction, effectively inhibiting mold growth and reducing the incidence of respiratory diseases.

4. Authoritative Certification and Global Trust

· LightBest products have passed international certifications such as CE, RoHS, UL, and FCC, and obtained sterilization effect test reports from CDC. As a drafter of national standards for ultraviolet germicidal lamps, its quality and safety are highly recognized.

Scientific Prevention and Control, Jointly Building a Health Defense Line

The outbreak of Nipah virus once again warns us that changes in the ecological environment and human activities may give birth to new pathogens, and scientific protection and technological innovation are the core of responding to challenges. Adhering to the concept of "Only the Best for Others," Lightbest continuously promotes the upgrading of ultraviolet disinfection technology, providing efficient and safe air solutions for global users. Choosing LightBest ultraviolet germicidal lamps is not only a choice for a long-term commitment to health but also building a solid technological barrier for public safety.

In the face of Nipah virus, there is no need to panic, but we must show awe. Scientific protection starts with a lamp.
