    <description>The paper is relevant to outbreak preparedness because it describes a rapid antigen test intended for Nipah virus detection in settings where nucleic-acid testing may be difficult to use. The abstract frames the assay as potentially useful for point-of-care diagnosis in resource-limited contexts.</description>
