The Camp Hill virus was detected in northern short-tailed shrews, a small mammal that is commonly found in the U.S. and Canada, according to the press release.

Those at highest risk of contracting a henipavirus are travelers who are exposed to infected animals (primarily bats and pigs) or who eat foods contaminated by those animals’ body fluids, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Health care workers treating infected patients are also at a higher risk.

There is no specific antiviral treatment for henipavirus infections, according to the same source.
