2026-07-10 Zoonotic Surveillance Viral Detection Hendra virus RNA was detected by RT‑qPCR in pooled urine from Pteropus bats across five sites over 3 years (6,151 samples). 42430468
2026-07-10 Zoonotic Surveillance Reservoir Ecology In the primary reservoir Pteropus bats, prolonged periods of low Hendra virus load and low prevalence likely represent noninfectious RNA or doses too low for cross-species transmission. 42430468
2026-07-10 Transmission Evidence Outbreak Investigation During five documented equine Hendra virus spillover events, peak bat shedding periods had a higher proportion of high–viral-load samples than periods without spillover. 42430468
