Semi-nested RT-PCR detected a total of 25 (8%) positive samples for paramyxoviruses which were then directly sequenced and analyzed using phylogenetic analysis. Our study identified novel Henipavirus-related and unrelated viruses using RT-PCR in fruit bats from Kansaka National Park and indicated the presence of similar Bat paramyxoviruses originating from wide geographic areas, suggesting the ability of bats to harbor and transmit viruses. This has been as a result of the high detection rate of previously unknown viral sequences in bats coupled with the emergence of pathogens, such as Hendra, Nipah, Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-Corona, Ebola and Marburg viruses, all of which are highly virulent and pose a great zoonotic risk [2, 3, 8, 9, 17] . The samples from Zambia formed clusters with the Henipavirus-related viruses and with the unclassified Bat paramyxoviruses (Fig. 1) .	./cache/cord-284367-cy61pjcb.txt	./txt/cord-284367-cy61pjcb.txt
