"The natural reservoir for Hendra virus is thought to be flying foxes"

"Only three human cases of Hendra virus disease have been recognized."

Hendra virus (formerly called equine morbillivirus) is a member of the
family Paramyxoviridae.
Nipah virus, also a member of the family Paramyxoviridae, is related but
not identical to Hendra virus.

Funny, when I read this page, it says,"Two of the three human patients
infected with Hendra virus died (Australia). During the Nipah virus
disease outbreak in 1998-99 (Malaysia and Singapore), 257 patients were
infected with the virus. About 40% of those patients who entered
hospitals with serious nervous disease died from the illness."
