Interactive Case Study for Virus Hunter: Monitoring Nipah Virus in Bat Populations | This interactive video explores how scientists identify which bat populations are infected with Nipah virus and could transmit the virus to humans. The video follows the research of Jonathan Epstein and his colleagues at EcoHealth Alliance, who are monitoring Nipah virus in wild populations of fruit bats in Bangladesh. As students watch the video, they are prompted to answer questions that require them to predict steps in the research process and interpret data. Students also make connections to their own experiences and to other infectious diseases.
