*NV, Nipah virus.
†Length in amino acids.
‡Percentage amino acid identity or nucleotide homology after sequences were aligned by using GAP from GCG.
§Length in nucleotides. NV-Malaysia gene lengths and 5´ and 3´ nontranslated sequences and gene lengths were obtained from GenBank accession no. AF212302. The percentage amino acid identity does not take into consideration conserved amino acid changes.
