Nipah virus (NiV) remains a persistent public-health threat in Bangladesh. The national sentinel surveillance system has operated since 2006, yet fatal infections that occur before assessment often go untested. We piloted a post-mortem surveillance component at three sentinel hospitals (December 202...
