Cedar virus

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Cedar virus, officially Cedar henipavirus, is a henipavirus known to be harboured by Pteropus spp. Infectious virus was isolated from the urine of a mixed Pteropus alecto and P. poliocephalus in Queensland, Australia in 2009. Unlike the Nipah and Hendra virus, Cedar virus infection does not lead to obvious disease in vivo. Infected animals mounted effective immune responses and seroconverted in challenge studies.
