To enhance preparedness against existing and new zoonotic viruses such as Hendra virus, Nipah virus, and other paramyxoviruses, screening tools and efficient diagnostic methods are needed. Here, we established a conventional nested pan-PCR assay using previously described primers for screening of human and bat samples. Additionally, we developed specific real-time RT-PCR (RT-qPCR) assays to detect Nipah virus and...
