Nipah virus (NiV) is a newly detected highly pathogenic virus with ability to cause devastating morbidity and mortality (an estimated 100% in some cases) rate among the human populations. This emerging infectious disease has become one of the most alarming threats of the public healths in Bangladesh mainly due to its periodic outbreaks (as it strikes almost every year) and the highly devastating mortality rate. In this paper, we propose a mathematical model describing the host-pathogen interactions in terms of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The main aim is to investigate the disease propagation and control strategy of NiV infections. The behaviour of the dynamics of NiV infections has been illustrated by the numerical simulations.
