Will spread my very limited knowledge on the virus.
Spread by bats, transfer is bat to horse which basically froths up has epilepictic spasims then dies !!!spread from horse to person in close contact with horse who can then die as was the case of a trainer & just recently another person was infected,
Cannot be as far as known transfered from person to person ,was named hendra virus which was were the first outbreak was reported which is a suburb of Brisbane (next to doomben & Eagle farm hence high concerntration of horses ) remains active in horses even though horse has recovered & yes they should have put it down as soon as discovered.

The main fear is if the virus mutates & travells human to human & what about the worker who got it that they released a week later does it stay with him ?
