Nipah Virus Infection in Bats (Order Chiroptera) in Peninsular Malaysia
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2001 Nipah virus, family Paramyxoviridae, caused disease in pigs and humans in peninsular Malaysia in 1998-99. Because Nipah virus appears closely related to Hendra virus, wildlife surveillance focused primarily on pteropid bats (suborder Megachiroptera), a ...
