Novel Henipavirus, Salt Gully Virus, Isolated from Pteropid Bats, Australia.

ABSTRACT: We describe isolation and characterization of a novel henipavirus, designated Salt Gully virus, from the urine of pteropid bats in Australia. We noted the virus to be most closely related to Angavokely virus, not reliant on ephrin receptors for cell entry, and of unknown risk for human disease.
