The primary carriers of NiV in humans are the respiratory secretions. If you are near anyone who has the infection and have the chance to breathe in their out-breath, you can get infected too. The risk gets very high is the patient has respiratory symptoms, such as coughing and sneezing. Because of the same reason, never share food, bed or be very close to a sneezing or coughing NiV patient. At any cost, one should not come in contact with the saliva of an infected person.
