Locations of human Nipah cases (n = 21) and Pteropus medius bat roosts (n = 30) investigated in Bangladesh, 2012–2019. Roosts with urine aliquots that tested positive for Nipah virus RNA at the first sampling visit are indicated with triangles. Points have been jittered a small amount to increase visibility. Districts with human Nipah virus cases, identified bat roosts, or Nipah surveillance hospitals are labeled.
