CDC - Nipah Virus Infection in Bats (Order Chiroptera) in Peninsular Malaysia - English
URL: http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/eid/vol7no3/yob.htm

Nipah virus, family Paramyxoviridae, caused disease in pigs and humans in peninsular Malaysia in 1998-99. Because Nipah virus appears closely related to Hendra virus, wildlife surveillance focused primarily on pteropid bats (suborder Megachiroptera), a natural host of Hendra virus in Australia. We collected 324 bats from 14 species on peninsular Malaysia. Neutralizing antibodies to Nipah virus were demonstrated in five species, suggesting widespread infection in bat populations in peninsular Malaysia.

NMNH Virtual Tour - Mammals - Bats (Chiroptera) - English
URL: http://www.mnh.si.edu/museum/VirtualTour/Tour/First/Mammal/mammal1.html

The leaflike noses and large ears of these bats serve similar purposes--they use sound waves to help locate prey. Nose and ears work like a transmitter and receiver. These bats emit calls from their noses. The shape of the nose helps to focus the sound waves. The big ears detect the returning echoes, as well as the sounds of prey, such as insects rustling in the leaves.
