Demonstrates Hendra virus infections in flying foxes, suggesting infection cycles and potential risks.
We provide evidence for natural Hendra virus infections and associated serology in a cohort of Australian black flying foxes (Pteropus alecto) transferred from Queensland to the Australian Centre for Disease Preparedness in Victoria, Australia. This study supports the likelihood that flying foxes undergo cycles of infection and reinfection and possibly recrudescence.
