Antibodies to Nipah-like virus in bats (Pteropus lylei), Cambodia
James G Olson et al. Emerg Infect Dis. 2002 Sep.
Abstract
Serum specimens from fruit bats were obtained at restaurants in Cambodia. We detected antibodies cross-reactive to Nipah virus by enzyme immunoassay in 11 (11.5%) of 96 Lyle's flying foxes (Pteropus lylei). Our study suggests that viruses closely related to Nipah or Hendra viruses are more widespread in Southeast Asia than previously documented.
