Figure

Spectacled flying fox (Pteropus conspicullatus) feeding on nectar of unidentified flowers. The natural reservoir for Hendra virus is believed to be flying foxes (bats of the genus Pteropus) found in Australia. The natural reservoir for Nipah virus is still unknown, but preliminary data suggest that these bats are also reservoirs for Nipah virus in Malaysia. CDC/Brian W.J. Mahy.
