Cedar Virus: A Novel Henipavirus Isolated from Australian Bats 2012-08-02 .txt text/plain 6101 277 49 The genome size (18,162 nt) and organization of CedPV is very similar to that of HeV and NiV; its nucleocapsid protein displays antigenic cross-reactivity with henipaviruses; and it uses the same receptor molecule (ephrinB2) for entry during infection. Preliminary challenge studies with CedPV in ferrets and guinea pigs, both susceptible to infection and disease with known henipaviruses, confirmed virus replication and production of neutralizing antibodies although clinical disease was not observed. As part of our on-going field studies on HeV genetic diversity and infection dynamics in the Queensland flying fox populations, urine samples were collected on a regular basis for PCR and virus isolation. CedPV is more closely related to HeV and NiV than henipavirus-like sequences detected in African bats [26, 32] as shown in a phylogenetic tree based on the only sequences available of a 550-nt L gene fragment (Fig. S5) . ./cache/cord-000729-iq30z094.txt ./txt/cord-000729-iq30z094.txt
