Henipavirus Infection in Fruit Bats (Pteropus giganteus), India

Description

(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) We tested 41 bats for antibodies against Nipah and Hendra viruses to determine whether henipaviruses circulate in pteropid fruit bats (Pteropus giganteus) in northern India. Twenty bats were seropositive for Nipah virus, which suggests circulation in this species, thereby extending the known distribution of henipaviruses in Asia westward by >1,000 km.
