Pulau virus
Pulau virus (PuV) is a novel strain of Nelson Bay orthoreovirus species. It is a double-stranded RNA virus. It is fusogenic and syncytia-forming. It varies from Nelson Bay virus in the S1 and S2 nucleotide segments. It was isolated from a small flying fox (Pteropus hypomelanus) on Tioman Island, Malaysia in 2000.[1][2][3]
