Phylogenetic analysis based on the full length genome sequence and the deduced amino acid sequences of each structural protein confirmed the initial observation that CedPV is most closely related to henipaviruses in the family. A phylogenetic tree based on the deduced sequences of the nucleocapsid protein (N) is presented in Fig. 2 . Phylogenetic tree based on whole genome sequences gave similar results (Fig. S4 ). CedPV is more closely related to HeV and NiV than henipavirus-like sequences detected in African bats [26, 32] as shown in a phylogenetic tree based on the only sequences available of a 550-nt L gene fragment (Fig. S5) .
