TLDR
In this article, the authors collected 324 bats from 14 species on peninsular Malaysia and demonstrated that neutralizing antibodies to Nipah virus were demonstrated in five species, suggesting widespread infection in bat populations in Malaysia.Abstract:
Nipah virus, family Paramyxoviridae, caused disease in pigs and humans in peninsular Malaysia in 1998-99. Because Nipah virus appears closely related to Hendra virus, wildlife surveillance focused primarily on pteropid bats (suborder Megachiroptera), a natural host of Hendra virus in Australia. We collected 324 bats from 14 species on peninsular Malaysia. Neutralizing antibodies to Nipah virus were demonstrated in five species, suggesting widespread infection in bat populations in peninsular Malaysia.read more

Bats: Important Reservoir Hosts of Emerging Viruses
TL;DR: It is clear that the authors do not know enough about bat biology; they are doing too little in terms of bat conservation; and there remain a multitude of questions regarding the role of bats in disease emergence.

TL;DR: A blocking assay based on the recombinant receptor-binding domain of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptor provides an alternative to conventional antibody neutralization assays requiring live virus.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the rate of future zoonotic disease emergence or reemergence will be closely linked to the evolution of the agriculture–environment nexus, and available research inadequately addresses the complexity and interrelatedness of environmental, biological, economic, and social dimensions of zoonosis.

TL;DR: The isolation of Nipah virus from the Island flying-fox corroborates the serological evidence that it is one of the natural hosts of the virus.

TL;DR: Electron microscopic, serologic, and genetic studies indicate that the Nipah virus belongs to the family Paramyxoviridae and is most closely related to the recently discovered Hendra virus, and it is suggested that these two viruses are representative of a new genus within the familyparamyxviridae.

TL;DR: A morbillivirus has been isolated and added to an increasing list of emerging viral diseases, which induced syncytia that developed in the endothelium of blood vessels, particularly the lungs.

Isolation of Hendra Virus From Pteropid Bats: A Natural Reservoir of Hendra Virus
TL;DR: The isolation of HeV from pteropid bats corroborates earlier serological and epidemiological evidence that they are a natural reservoir host of the virus and reinforces the hypothesis that HeV excretion from bats might be related to the birthing process.

Serologic evidence for the presence in Pteropus bats of a paramyxovirus related to equine morbillivirus.
TL;DR: To evaluate the theory that EMV originated from a wildlife source, a trapping program was initiated, focusing on the location of the index cases, first in Brisbane and later in Mackay when the details of that incident became known.
