<unk>  is a genus of negative-strand RNA viruses in the family Paramyxoviridae, order Mononegavirales containing five species.<unk> es are naturally harboured by pteropid fruit bats (flying foxes) and microbats of several species.<unk> es are characterised by long genomes and a wide host range. Their recent emergence as zoonotic pathogens capable of causing illness and death in domestic animals and humans is a cause of concern. In 2009, RNA sequences of three novel viruses in phylogenetic relationship to known<unk> es were detected in African straw-colored fruit bats (Eidolon helvum) in Ghana. The finding of these novel<unk> es outside Australia and Asia indicates that the region of potential endemicity of<unk> es may be worldwide. These African<unk> es are slowly being characterised. Nipah and Hendra<unk> es are both considered category C (USDA-HHS overlap) select agents.
