The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Isolation of Genetically Diverse Marburg Viruses from Egyptian Fruit Bats (2009, background): “It seems more likely that there is horizontal transmission of infection among susceptible bats, as was proposed for Hendra virus [16] and Nipah virus [17].”
Real-time PCR in the microbiology laboratory. (2004, background): “clinical signs and symptoms experienced by patients [124,126,201,226–230].”
Bats: Important Reservoir Hosts of Emerging Viruses (2006, background): “Thus, the henipaviruses likely occur across the entire global distribution of pteropid bats (66).”
Nipah Virus Encephalitis Reemergence, Bangladesh (2004, background): “Pteropus bats are also believed to be the natural host for Hendra virus, a zoonotic paramyxovirus that is genetically related to Nipah virus and has been associated with fatal respiratory and neurologic illness among persons in Australia (12).”
