A brain-swelling disease 75 times more deadly than coronavirus could mutate to become the next pandemic killing millions, scientists have warned.<\/p>\n

Experts told the Sun Online<\/a> how a number of emerging diseases could trigger another global outbreak \u2013 and this time it could be \u201cThe Big One\u201d.<\/p>\n

The fruit bat-borne virus Nipah is a prime candidate for serious concern, they fear.<\/p>\n

Severe brain swelling, seizures and vomiting are just some of the symptoms of this highly potent disease \u2014 which was first discovered in 1999 in Malaysia.<\/p>\n

Outbreaks in south and southeast Asia show the virus to be extremely deadly, with a death rate of between 40 to 75 per cent.<\/p>\n

COVID-19\u2019s<\/a> fatality rate is around one per cent, according to Imperial College, so a Nipah pandemic would kill many more people.<\/p>\n

It has also been named by the World Health Organisation (WHO) as one of 16 priority pathogens for research and development due to its potential to trigger an epidemic.<\/p>\n

And chillingly, Nipah is just one of 260 known viruses with epidemic potential.<\/p>\n
