Natural Host
Fruit bats (
Macrochiroptera
) of the family
Pteropodidae
-
particularly species belonging to the
Pteropus
genus–are the natural
hosts for Nipah virus. There is no apparent disease in fruit bats. Bats
belonging to the genus Pteropus are widely distributed. They live in
the tropics and subtropics of Asia, including the Indian subcontinent,
Australia, Indonesia, Madagascar, and a number of remote oceanic
islands in both the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
Among the genus
Pteropus
, the Indian Flying Fox (
Pteropus
giganteus
) (wingspan 1.5 m and up to 1.2 kg) and the relatively
smaller Greater short-nosed fruit bat or Short-nosed Indian fruit bat
(
Cynopterus sphinx
) (wingspan 48 cm), widespread and very common species in South Asia, have been identified as the main natural reservoir
[29]. Various other pteroid bats have been recognized NiV host carriers.
The grey-headed flying fox (
Pteropus poliocephalus
) and the black
flying-fox (
Pteropus alecto
), both
Pteropus
spp. occurring in Malaysia
were found seropositive for NiV [30]. Neutralizing antibodies, and the
virus has been isolated from the small flying fox or variable flying fox
(
Pteropus hypomelanus
) and the large flying fox (
Pteropus vampyrus
)
[30-32]. NiV has been isolated from urine of Lyle’s flying fox (
Pteropus
lylei
) in Cambodia.
