Although Australian flying\u2010foxes of the genus <jats:italic>Pteropus<\/jats:italic> have been identified as reservoir hosts, the precise mechanism of HeV transmission has yet to be elucidated. To date, there has been limited investigation into the role of haematophagous insects as vectors of HeV. This mode of transmission is particularly relevant because Australian flying\u2010foxes host the bat\u2010specific blood\u2010feeding ectoparasites of the genus <jats:italic>Cyclopodia<\/jats:italic> (Diptera: Nycteribiidae), also known as bat flies. Using molecular detection methods, we screened for HeV <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">RNA<\/jats:styled-content> in 183 bat flies collected from flying\u2010foxes inhabiting a roost in Boonah, Queensland, Australia. It was subsequently demonstrated that during the study period, <jats:italic>Pteropus alecto<\/jats:italic> in this roost had a HeV <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">RNA<\/jats:styled-content> prevalence between 2 and 15% (95% <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">CI<\/jats:styled-content> [1, 6] to [8, 26], respectively). We found no evidence of HeV in any bat flies tested, including 10 bat flies collected from <jats:italic>P.\u00a0alecto<\/jats:italic> in which we detected HeV <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">RNA<\/jats:styled-content>. Our negative findings are consistent with previous findings and provide additional evidence that bat flies do not play a primary role in HeV transmission.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/zph.12303","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,10,22]],"date-time":"2016-10-22T05:07:37Z","timestamp":1477112857000},"page":"228-231","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["No Evidence of Hendra Virus Infection in the Australian Flying\u2010fox Ectoparasite Genus <i>Cyclopodia<\/i>"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"64","author":[{"given":"M.
