Prevalence of Henipavirus and Rubulavirus Antibodies in Pteropid Bats, Papua New Guinea

Prevalence of Henipavirus and Rubulavirus Antibodies in Pteropid Bats, Papua New Guinea

To determine seroprevalence of viruses in bats in Papua New Guinea, we sampled 66 bats at 3 locations. We found a seroprevalence of 55% for henipavirus (Hendra or Nipah virus) and 56% for rubulavirus (Tioman or Menangle virus). Notably, 36% of bats surveyed contained antibodies to both types of viru...
