Based on previous pilot studies on interrupting bats access to sap [8] [9] [10] , and on the Government of Bangladesh's recommendation to abstain from drinking raw sap, we developed and implemented a behavior change communication intervention using two different approaches to reduce the risk of NiV transmission. The objective of our paper is to describe and calculate the cost of an already implemented behavior change communication intervention, and estimate the cost of scaling it up to districts where NiV spillover was identified in Bangladesh, using risk-based scenarios. To implement an "only safe sap" intervention with community meetings, gachhi training, poster and the TV public service announcement in the six districts with 48% of all spillover would cost $715,000.	./cache/cord-002586-gilnlwms.txt	./txt/cord-002586-gilnlwms.txt
