{{example|Menangle virus was first identified in 1997, following an investigation of a serious outbreak of mummified and stillborn foetuses in a commercial piggery at Menangle, New South Wales, Australia. A high proportion of litters born to sows that were pregnant at the time of exposure to the virus were affected, although clinical disease was not noticed at the time of infection. After an extensive investigation the infection was traced to a nearby colony of fruit bats (flying foxes), with a high proportion of bats sampled found to be seropositive for Menangle virus antibodies.
