Rousettus aegyptiacus Fruit Bats Do Not Support Productive Replication of Cedar Virus upon Experimental Challenge [PDF]

Viruses
Cedar henipavirus (CedV), which was isolated from the urine of pteropodid bats in Australia, belongs to the genus Henipavirus in the family of Paramyxoviridae.

A recombinant Cedar virus based high-throughput screening assay for henipavirus antiviral discovery. [PDF]

Antiviral Res, 2021
Nipah virus (NiV) and Hendra virus (HeV) are highly pathogenic, bat-borne paramyxoviruses in the genus Henipavirus that cause severe and often fatal acute respiratory and/or neurologic diseases in humans and livestock. There are currently no approved antiviral therapeutics or vaccines for use in humans to treat or prevent NiV or HeV infection.

A key region of molecular specificity orchestrates unique ephrin-B1 utilization by Cedar virus. [PDF]

Life Sci Alliance, 2020
AbstractThe prototypic henipaviruses (HNV), Hendra (HeV) and Nipah (NiV), are emergent zoonotic pathogens responsible for frequent and fatal outbreaks of severe disease in domestic animals and humans. The HNV attachment glycoprotein (G) is a critical determinant of host-species and cell-type tropism.

Tetracistronic minigenomes elucidate a functional promoter for Ghana virus and unveils Cedar virus replicase promiscuity for all henipaviruses. [PDF]

J Virol
AbstractBatborne henipaviruses, such as Nipah virus and Hendra virus, represent a major threat to global health due to their propensity for spillover, severe pathogenicity, and high mortality rate in human hosts. Coupled with the absence of approved vaccines or therapeutics, work with the prototypical species and uncharacterized, emergent species is ...

Structural and functional analyses reveal promiscuous and species specific use of ephrin receptors by Cedar virus. [PDF]

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2019
Cedar virus (CedV) is a bat-borne henipavirus related to Nipah virus (NiV) and Hendra virus (HeV), zoonotic agents of fatal human disease. CedV receptor-binding protein (G) shares only ∼30% sequence identity with those of NiV and HeV, although they can all use ephrin-B2 as an entry receptor. We demonstrate that CedV also enters cells through additional

Serologic Evidence of Human Exposure to Bat-Borne Zoonotic Paramyxoviruses, Cambodia [PDF]

Viruses
Fruit bats in the genus Pteropus are the natural reservoirs for zoonotic paramyxoviruses, notably henipaviruses and pararubulaviruses, which are found across Southeast Asia and Oceania.

An in vivo BSL-2 model for henipavirus infection based on bioluminescence imaging of recombinant Cedar virus replication in mice. [PDF]

Front Chem Biol
Henipaviruses are enveloped single-stranded, negative-sense RNA viruses of the paramyxovirus family. Two henipaviruses, Nipah virus and Hendra virus, cause a systemic respiratory and/or neurological disease in humans and ten additional species of mammals, with a high fatality rate. Because of their highly pathogenic nature, Nipah virus and Hendra virus

A phase 1 trial of the safety, tolerability and biological effects of intravenous Enadenotucirev, a novel oncolytic virus, in combination with chemoradiotherapy in locally advanced rectal cancer (CEDAR) [PDF]

Radiation Oncology, 2020
Background Chemoradiotherapy remains the standard of care for locally advanced rectal cancer. Efforts to intensify treatment and increase response rates have yet to yield practice changing results due to increased toxicity and/or absence of increased ...

Trafficking and Activation of Henipavirus, Parahenipavirus, and Henipa-like Virus Fusion Proteins [PDF]

Viruses
Henipaviruses are emerging zoonotic viruses that have caused deadly outbreaks in humans and livestock across several regions of the world. The fusion (F) protein of henipaviruses plays a critical role in viral entry into host cells and represents a key ...
