We tested 41 bats for antibodies against Nipah and Hendra viruses to determine whether henipaviruses circulate in pteropid fruit bats (Pteropus giganteus) in northern India. Twenty bats were seropositive for Nipah virus, which suggests circulation in this species, thereby extending the known distribution of henipaviruses in Asia westward by >1,000 km.
我们检测了41只蝙蝠是否存在抗尼帕病毒和亨德拉病毒的抗体，以确定这些亨尼帕病毒是否在印度北部的狐蝠（印度大狐蝠）中传播。20只蝙蝠尼帕病毒血清呈阳性，这表明该病毒在该物种中传播，从而使已知的亨尼帕病毒在亚洲的分布向西扩展了1000多公里。
