Sequence and phylogenetic analyses of the N, P, M, F, G and L open-reading frames of a Nipah virus
isolated from a Pteropus vampyrus illustrated the uniqueness of the genetic signature of this virus
compared to all the other Malaysian isolates of Nipah virus from pigs, bat (Pteropus hypomelanus) and
humans, as well as the Nipah virus isolated from Pteropus lylei in Cambodia, and that from human in
Bangladesh. The Nipah virus of P. vampyrus is more closely related to the Nipah virus isolate from
P. lylei, Cambodia than to Nipah virus human isolate of Bangladesh.
