Flying foxes can carry several diseases, most notably the viruses responsible for lyssavirus (including Australian bat lyssavirus), Hendra virus, and Nipah virus. These viruses can pose serious health risks to humans and livestock. Additionally, flying foxes are known to harbor various strains of the influenza virus and other zoonotic pathogens, which can be transmitted through direct contact or through their droppings and urine. It is important to note that while they carry these diseases, transmission to humans is relatively rare.
